The book showcases collaborative intercultural research into English language teaching and English language teacher education across Australasia covering a broad range of topics from English education policies, curricular reform and practices, teacher professional development, and teacher and student identities. Together, the selected studies showcase how, in the shadow of the Pandemic, newer configurations in developing Asian and South-East Asian countries have complicated collaboration in teaching and research and how these contrast with practices in Australia. In particular, the studies highlight the need for both cultural and pedagogical adaptations in practitioners’ engagement with both policy and pedagogy. The book finds interested readership among emerging educators including graduate and doctoral researchers, as well as educators and policymakers.
