“…The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is no exception. Characterized by interdisciplinarity and diversity in terms of methodologies and orientations, WE‐focused scholarship in MENA investigates a variety of issues, including descriptive accounts of emerging varieties of Englishes in the region (Fussell, 2011; Mahboob, 2013), descriptive synchronic/diachronic sociolinguistic analyses of various countries in the region (Belmihoub, 2017; Selvi, 2011), various roles, values and benefits that English as a global language has vis‐à‐vis other languages in the region (Erling, 2015; Euromonitor, 2012; McIlwraith, 2013), linguistic superdiversity and identity (Al‐Issa & Dahan, 2011; Hillman & Ocampo Eibenschutz, 2018; Karmani, 2005) language (education) policy and planning (Barnawi, 2018; Kirkpatrick, 2017), and the diverse set of implications of these issues on English language teaching (Devrim & Bayyurt, 2010; Hidri, 2019; Reinders, Coombe, Littlejohn, & Tafazoli, 2019).…”
