Research Cultures in Applied Linguistics and TESOL

At present, Applied Linguistics and TESOL face uncertain futures. Yet, despite their ‘at-risk’ status, the closure of their study programmes and their declining student numbers in ‘Western’ education systems, their scholars continue to conduct world-class, innovative, field-defining and challenging research. The studies in this edited volume act as a testament to that but they also illuminate that this research continues to flourish even when up against complex and often undocumented working conditions, environments, and prejudicial practices.
