On the afternoon of January 24, 2024, the weekly meeting of the HoLLT Research Circle in the Warwick ELT Archive featured Dr. Jason Anderson presenting his recently published research article (available via the link below), titled ‘Reimagining educational linguistics: A post-competence perspective’.

Jason critically delved into the historical foundations of educational linguistics, contending that its inception within a Chomskyan ‘competence model’ has contributed to a noticeable gap between applied linguists and language teachers. His article advocates a transformative framework that acknowledges literacy and pluralist orientations, underscores the importance of flexibility, and puts forth a diverse research agenda, aiming to enhance the relevance of educational linguistics in global educational contexts.
