Decolonizing Applied Linguistics Research in Latin America

The volume brings together participants from an AILA 2021 symposium, in which researchers reflected on applied linguistics in Latin America, and on the ways in which it brought concerns around social justice, the legacy of coloniality, and the role of monolingual English in education to the fore. Each chapter is composed of four parts: an autobiographical section written both in Spanish or Portuguese and in English followed by a...

Communicative Perspectives on COVID-19 in Ghana
This collection explores the communicative dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana, redressing the absence of perspectives from Africa and the Global South in pandemic discourses and highlighting the importance of considering the impact of local contexts in global crises.

Grounded in transnational and interdisciplinary perspectives and drawing on data from the Ghanian experience, the book showcases how important it is for local factors to be taken into a...
Child of God
A boy, former guitarist and vocalist who belonged to a "death-metal" band, whose name was nothing more and nothing less than the number of the beast "666". God rescued this boy for the love of his name, and now he sings to God, serving as a minister of the gospel, pastor, and missionary in the land of Transylvania. He founded the first Christ-centered church in Romania and has written his first book in Spanish (this is a translation into English) that you are about to read. He finished his theological studies at the Methodist Seminary of Costa Rica, class of 2003-2008, as one of the best students, with a generous experience in the ways of God. He has been, is and will be a great blessing, both for me and for a vast number of people around the world. Now, if God has been able to change this "rocker" Dinu Petrache for the glory of his name, surely, he will be able to change you too. - William J. Abraham - 1947-2021

By tracing the trajectories of their identity (re)formations over several years, the book details the paths these youths have taken to navigate diverse contact zones and cope with institutional regulatory mechanisms. It highlights that, in the face of prevailing social stigma, they actively involv...

Interculturalidad y formación de profesores: perspectivas pedagógicas y multilingües
Los discursos educativos en Colombia encuentran hoy un gran desafío frente a un escenario de posconflicto y la propuesta multidisciplinar de un país en reconstrucción de sus valores que quiere construir una paz duradera. En este contexto, las pedagogías críticas que fomentan una educación para el desarrollo de una ciudadanía global y responsable pueden considerarse una necesidad primordial en la agenda educativa nacional para el fortalecimiento del mutuo entendimiento, la construcción de una tolerancia constructiva y el diálogo intercultural mediante la construcción de terceros espacios para la negociación, la paz y la armonía (Holmes, 2014; Kramsch, 2011; Porto y Byram, 2015; Ri...
