The new issue of TESOL in Context (Australia), edited by Ward Peeters, David Dai and myself, is now out.

This issue features nine empirical articles, one special report, one book review, and an editorial about “Navigating policy, pedagogy, and the self in TESOL” in current times.

Honoured to have been invited to present my work on language policy as practice at the @inalco.fr
