TESOL Working Paper Series cover.
The TESOL Program, Department of English and Applied Linguistics, College of Liberal Arts, has just published volume 23 of the TESOL Working Paper Series.
The TESOL Working Paper Series is a refereed, open-access journal that is published annually online on the website of the Department of English & Applied Linguistics. It is indexed by JSTOR Open Access, Google Scholar, and HPU Libraries.
Volume 23 sees contributions from Japan (including a co-authored paper by a visiting scholar to HPU, Dr. Tsutomu Koga of Ryukoku University), Pakistan, Poland, and Hawaiʻi. It includes papers by current and former students and a faculty member in HPU's TESOL program.
The full-length papers cover research with pedagogical implications on motivation and language complexity in second language acquisition, real-life language use by international exchange students, Disney cruise vloggers, and Ward Village linguistic landscape designers. Two reflective essays discuss AI tools as empowerment in the classroom and recommendations for educators from the perspective of a learner with ADHD. The volume is rounded out with a series of practical papers that suggest creative solutions to real-life problems, from teaching English online in Ukraine to implementing service learning projects in Pakistan.
Established in 2005, the TESOL Working Paper Series showcases HPU's long-standing scholarly contributions to academic research with a practical focus.
Editor: Hanh thi Nguyen, PhD, Professor of Applied Linguistics
