This book considers the past, present and future directions of innovation in US-based Intensive English Programs (IEPs), which provide international students with an immersion-style environment for learning academic English, prior to matriculating into a full-time college or university degree program. IEPs frequently serve as sites for pre-service teacher preparation, curricular experimentation and research, and yet little published work takes a critical look at the advantages and shortcomings of such programs. The chapters in this book provide a nuanced view of this microcosm of the English language teaching industry, demonstrating the various ways that IEPs have impacted and continue to influence the wider fields of Applied Linguistics and TESOL. They emphasize the unique positioning of IEPs within higher education and describe the various ways IEP practitioners can influence their host institutions and beyond.

Carter Winkle provides insight into the contemporary phenomena of partnerships between universities and for-profit educational service providers resulting in matriculation pathway programs for non-native English speaking students in the United States. Positive and negative implications of such partnerships are illuminated through interpretation of empirically derived narrative accounts of English language program administrators, English language teaching faculty, and academic discipline faculty working in contexts where such joint-venture matriculation pathway programs exist. The book retells stories of these academic professionals and examines how the new governance structures and practices of these programs impacted them and their work context, focusing on their institutional status, autonomy in curricular and pedagogical decision-making, and perceptions of how these new corporate initiatives affected students and their host institutions.

Postsecondary language classrooms perpetuate racial discrimination and linguistic inequalities, posing a significant problem for racialized students who face institutional barriers and erasure of their linguistic identities. Interrogating Race and Racism in Postsecondary Language Classrooms, edited by Xiangying Huo and Clayton Smith, offers a transformative solution by confronting deeply ingrained racism, linguicism, and neo-racism in language education. Through an intersectional lens, the book exposes these issues and provides practical strategies to combat injustice, fostering inclusive learning environments. With topics ranging from power dynamics to anti-oppressive pedagogies, the book equips readers with tools to effect meaningful change. By amplifying marginalized voices and emphasizing anti-racist and anti-colonial practices, it empowers educators and policymakers to dismantle oppressive systems. This comprehensive resource has the potential to reshape language classrooms and create equitable educational landscapes that value diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, contributing to a more just and inclusive society.

In this book dialogue is used as a research, knowledge-sharing and community-building tool in which participants engage with each other in reflecting upon the perspectives of self and others: challenging, complementing and contradicting each other as critical peers. The book aims to be an enactment of sociological reimagination, as a way to reimagine public conversations that inspire criticality, innovation and multimodality around the intersection of identity (self), language (mediating mechanism) and power (sociocultural domain). Each chapter illustrates the use of dialogue as a participatory research tool as a way in which the sharing of knowledge and the growth of understanding occurs through meaning- and strategy-making processes. Together they present dialogue as an integrative model of self-inquiry and social activism and provide a valuable standpoint to understand the participatory nature of our very effort to question and investigate our sense of self in the world.
