“…In addition, numerous studies in the fields of TESOL and applied linguistics have scrutinized the relationship of late 20th and early 21st century global capitalism to language policies and practices (e.g., Block & Cameron, 2002; Flores, 2013; Kramsch, 2014). With this history in mind, recent scholarship (e.g., Motha, 2014; Poteau & Winkle, 2021; Verma & Apple, 2021) has articulated the importance of confronting social, racial, and linguistic injustice in the classroom and finding ways for language educators to push back against a system that still privileges “standard” British or American English, while at the same time acknowledging that TESOL is a clear beneficiary of this system. Some, like Canagarajah (2013) and De Costa and Jou (2016), have proposed dialogical cosmopolitanism , a process of connecting to those from different backgrounds through collaboration and mutual respect, as one way to reduce these inequities by making negotiation and acceptance of linguistic hybridity central to contact between users of any language.…”

This special issue focuses on how neo‐nationalist movements are affecting the teaching of English to speakers of other languages in several countries where English functions as the dominant language, an official language, a lingua franca, and/or a required subject in schools. In this introduction, we offer background on neo‐nationalism and the teaching of English, as well as preview key themes and responses addressed in the rest of the special issue. We then provide an overview of the research articles, brief report, and commentaries that respond to the question of how the field of TESOL, which has benefited from neoliberal globalization even while critiquing it, can meet the challenges posed by a world in which more governments are withdrawing from international agreements, reinforcing their borders, and inciting xenophobic violence among the general populace.

This qualitative research underscores the influence of social justice-oriented pedagogies on the growth of emerging bilinguals (EB) enrolled as teacher candidates in English language teacher education programs in terms of both linguistic, instructional, and long-term professional realms. Collaboratively conducted with dedicated pre-service student teachers (PST), this case study addresses cultural gaps and structural disparities in Vietnamese educational society. By delving into the expanding literature on these associated types of pedagogies within language education research, the case study involved 20 PST-EB in Vietnam. Engaging with social organizations, these PSTs integrated real-life experiences into their classroom knowledge production. The outcomes revealed that the PST developed an enhanced awareness of diverse worldviews, a heightened sense of responsibility towards marginalized communities, an inclination towards culture-oriented educational solutions to combat inequality and injustice, and improved skills for public knowledge dissemination. The manuscript explores these findings and delineates their implications.
