In language teacher education, balancing theoretical ideals with classroom realities presents inherent tensions. Achieving the goal of teaching-informed research and research-informed teaching is particularly challenging in the context of teaching diverse languages other than English, where the required socio-cultural knowledge is both extensive and under-researched. Framed by the sustainable ecology of multilingual language education and recognising the complex multilingual identities of pre-service and in-service teachers, this study explores the role and agency of language teacher educators (LTEs) across macro, meso, and micro levels of influence. Using a Self-Study of Teacher Education Practices (S-STEP) methodology, the study examines how LTEs reflect on and adapt their practices in response to systemic, institutional, and classroom-level challenges. Data were collected through reflective journals, team meetings, and engagement with PSTs during a language methodology course. Analysis focused on identifying tensions in practice and how these were reframed to support pedagogical decision-making through the integration of theoretical knowledge (episteme) and practical wisdom (phronesis). Findings highlight persistent challenges in bridging theory and practice, supporting PST agency, and preparing teachers for diverse, under-supported school contexts. Key themes include the importance of reflective practice, the influence of contextual constraints, and the need to connect theory with lived experience. By situating these findings within ecological and multilingual frameworks, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of language teacher education and offers practical insights for designing responsive initial teacher education (ITE) programs. It also underscores the importance of LTE reflexivity in strengthening the research-practice nexus.

Rethinking the Burden of Traditional Informed Consent Prior to Prenatal Genetic Screening

The ethics literature and professional guidelines call for extensive discussions prior to prescreening consent to prenatal cell-free DNA screening to, theoretically, allow patients to make decisions that match their values and goals of care. Most patients, however, actively avoid in-depth moral deliberation when consenting to prenatal screening and then receive a screen-negative result, suggesting that an information-heavy process is irrelevant for average-risk pregnancies. In addition, extensive information-based consent procedures are not feasible in many resource-limited contexts. Meanwhile, patients and families with screen-positive results frequently report minimal support following screening, resulting in long-term distress and suboptimal outcomes. We argue for a fundamental shift to an approach we call “just-in-time consent”: identifying the essential information for values-based decisions prior to screening while relocating resources and moral deliberation to when families receive screen-positive results. This model both ensures that patients and families receive support when they most need it and maintains high standards for the ethical provision of prenatal genetic screening.

Opinion sharing in online travel communities: A corpus-based comparison of members’ stance expression in Ctrip and Tripadvisor

Studies have shown that online opinion sharing represents and helps to rebuild members’ awareness of group belonging. However, there is not yet a consensus on the effect of group membership on the discourse of opinion sharing. In light of this, we built two corpora with data from two popular travel websites—Ctrip and Tripadvisor. By conducting a corpus-based discourse analysis, we compared the two platform users’ discourses of opinion sharing, with a focus on stance. To compare, we controlled for members’ language and their evaluative stances. The results show the following: (1) Tripadvisor users generally utilise far more self-mentions than the remaining stance types, whereas Ctrip members highly prefer hedges in sharing opinion; and (2) as a reviewer’s stance changes from positive to negative, the Ctrip members’ probability of utilising boosters and self-mentions tend to increase, and the chance of hedge deployment decreases sharply, while the opposite is true for Tripadvisor users. These findings suggest that netizens’ discourse of opinion sharing varies in accordance with their self-identification, which could partially be related to their group membership and subjective knowledge of reciprocity.

The Third Person in the Room

Hastings Center Report

Mara Buchbinder

Since the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the popular media has been flooded with stories about pregnant patients experiencing obstetric complications who were denied access to necessary abortion care and suffered tragic consequences. Yet some of the lesser-told relevant stories include far subtler impacts on the patient-physician relationship. In this commentary, I reflect on interviews that my team and I conducted with general obstetrician-gynecologists in states with near-total bans on abortion. They shared their sense that abortion bans had resulted in an imaginary “third person” in the room, haunting the clinical encounter and intervening in care. I suggest that post-Dobbs abortion bans drive a wedge into the physician-patient relationship that is figuratively embodied by invoking the “third person” in the room.

Thinking about Hope in the Care of Cancer Patients

Alan B. Astrow

Medical science has delivered extraordinary advances during my forty-year career as a medical oncologist. But might the science's justified prestige unhelpfully diminish our respect for other needed forms for understanding the human experience? This is a critical issue for physicians, who may be present with patients at moments of profound existential challenge. By equating hope with scientific progress and limiting its own role to purveyor of the latest that science has on offer, the medical profession may unwittingly add to the burden on patients with advanced cancer. Humanistic understandings of hope drawn from philosophy, theology, and literature serve as essential—at their best, equally true—partners to the portrait offered by experimental science. Physicians, in their manner of interacting with patients, may serve as both messengers of and models for a deeper understanding of hope that fully embodies the significance of human life and sustains patients when they most need support.

Disability, Relational Equality, and the Expressivist Objection

IF 2.3 3区哲学 Q1 ETHICS

Hastings Center Report

Pub Date : 2025-04-17 DOI: 10.1002/hast.4975

Erik Magnusson

Proponents of the expressivist objection argue that the use and provision of testing to select against disability in offspring express negative judgments about existing persons with disabilities. But does the expression of such judgments also wrong those persons? This paper argues that whether the expressivist objection succeeds will ultimately depend on whether a plausible explanation can be supplied for how persons with disabilities are wronged by the expression of negative judgments and that the literature on relational egalitarianism can supply such an explanation, albeit with important limitations.

The Road to Wisdom: On Truth, Science, Faith, and Trust, the optimistic title of Francis S. Collins's new book, hides a realistic appraisal of our current polarized country. Collins tries to tackle, in everyday language, why people are having such a hard time figuring out what is truth, how to think about science, how religious faith fits into this, and how and whom we can trust. “Misinformation, disinformation, fear … are constantly trying to knock us into the ditch,” he observes. His prescriptions are personalized and actionable—for example, talking to a neighbor whose views are different from yours.
