Despite the prolific research on textbook evaluation in language teaching (Garinger, 2002; Miekley, 2005; Mukundan & Ahour, 2010; Nimehchisalem & Mukundan, 2015, among others), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) textbook evaluation is still a field to be developed. The lack of specific tools prevents CLIL teachers and other…

Mirzaei, Azizullah; Parhizkar, Reza – TESL-EJ, 2021
In the poststructuralist view, just as language learners' sense of self-identity impacts their language learning choices, the learners' variable investment in social-cultural-political processes and discourse practices can dynamically influence their identity (re)constructions across time and space. This interpretive case study examined how 2…
