Deep dives
The impact of English-centric scholarship on multilingualism
English-centric scholarship has limited the scope and understanding of multilingualism by primarily focusing on English-speaking countries and neglecting local considerations and non-English languages. This English-centric approach disregards the complexity of linguistic diversity and reinforces exclusionary practices in academia. Efforts should be made to challenge this paradigm by advocating for more equitable language teaching practices, promoting multilingual publications, and creating academic spaces that value and respect local languages and cultures.
