ABSTRACT This article describes the teaching practices of two K–12 English language teachers in the Philippines at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data used in the study came from the interview of the two teachers, and a content analysis of some modules that they used. The study utilised Canagarajah’s critical pedagogy framework to describe the extent to which the teachers’ reported teaching practices, and the modules they used localised the teaching of English. Results revealed that teachers localised mostly in the level of content and strategies, but considered the language of the texts they used in the classroom to make sure that the meaning and form of the texts were accessible to their students. Moreover, localising was done only as ‘praxis’, and not as a ‘mode of inquiry’, so students were not made aware of their social positioning. Implications for curriculum design and teacher development programmes are discussed.

ABSTRACT In today’s globalized world where English is increasingly used as a lingua franca , an increasing number of new English varieties are emerging in different parts of the world. China English (CE), as one of the fastest-growing varieties of English with the largest number of speakers, has been attracting a great deal of attention in recent years. This study aims to explore the vowel inventory of CE using an exploratory approach. Data were collected from 20 CE speakers who were recorded reading a standard elicitation list of words containing the 11 English monophthongs. Phonetic properties, phonemic contrasts, and allophonic variations of CE vowels were examined acoustically. Results provide some empirical evidence for the existence of a CE vowel system in which the vowel length contrasts are maintained, whereas the vowel quality contrasts tend to be neutralized to different extents, as compared to Inner Circle English varieties.

La presente edición de Cuadernos del Ciesal, correspondiente al segundo semestre de 2022, reúne un conjunto de artículos que reflejan abordajes, perspectivas disciplinares y enfoques teóricos diversos. No obstante, predomina una preocupación por discutir cuestiones que enlazan con el presente, se trate del análisis histórico, sociológico o politológico. La perspectiva interdisciplinar que caracteriza a nuestra revista, presenta también cierta heterogeneidad en la escala espacial, abordando en ocasiones objetos micro, a nivel local, mientras que otros reflejan debates de interés más global o general.
