Call for Papers: Recent applied linguistics scholarship has begun to acknowledge linguistic racism as a significant phenomenon, yet its traumatic implications for English language learners and teachers remain underexplored in TESOL contexts. Despite mounting evidence of its pervasive effects (Dovchin, 2020; Wang & Dovchin, 2023), the mechanisms through which linguistic racism amplifies trauma—its extent, manifestations, and underlying causes—remain inadequately understood. This special issue

Technology is advancing rapidly, reshaping language resources and access, and the translation and interpretation (TI) fields across industry sectors, from the legal to the educational. How is this evolution impacting literature and creative contents? Is technology hindering or advancing creativity, and will multilingual expressions become more (in)visible, (ir)relevant, and (in)accessible? These critical questions suggest a new frontier for the language professions, especially in the arena of li

The multidisciplinary conference KLAARA has become a platform for researchers particularly interested in easy language and accessible communication.
