I'm looking forward to discussing this motion with Lina Mukhopadhyay of EFL University, India at the #IATEFL2026 ELTJ debate chaired by Alessia Cogo! More conference details here: www.iateflconference.org

Glad to see a review of David B. Wilson's _The Experience of Expatriate English Language Teaching_ today - Wayne Trotman in EL Gazette says "anyone who has ever taught English overseas will love it"! Let's hope there's a paperback soon! cambridgescholars.com/product/978-...

I really like this new book by David B. Wilson for its fresh approach to the history of english language teaching via 'literary TEFLing' www.cambridgescholars.com/product/978-.... You can read sample pages here: www.cambridgescholars.com/resources/pd...

The Makerere Report is one of those frequently cited documents that most only know indirectly (e.g. through criticism in R. Phillipson’s Linguistic Imperialism). Huge thanks to @richardsmithelt.bsky.social for making the full document available in the ELT Archive ⬇️ warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/al/r...
