Special Issue on English Language and Development

English Language and Development examines the role of the English language in supporting educational advancement, economic growth, and social transformation, particularly in developing and multilingual contexts. It invites research on English language teaching and learning, language policy, curriculum development, and the use of English in technology and media. This issue also explores how English can serve as a bridge for global communication, access to knowledge, and participation in international development efforts, while addressing challenges such as language inequality, cultural preservation, and inclusivity.
