Statistical significance and averages are two pieces of statistical information that are often presented as evidence in support of researchers’ conclusions and teaching recommendations. In this article, I consider interpretation of this information as research evidence for ELT. In simple terms that will be accessible even to readers without any knowledge of statistics, I explain the basic nature of this information with the aim of elucidating what it can and cannot tell us about ELT findings and the implications for our teaching. I discuss what additional information crucially must be considered for adequate interpretation, and specifically how interpretation depends on this information. I urge producers of ELT research to present and interpret this important information and consumers of ELT research to consider it in assessing the implications of ELT findings for their teaching.

This article reports on a well-being project in which I took part and which was supported by my institution, a university department supporting the development of prospective teachers and translators of English, but also of other foreign languages. The project was designed and run in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has the potential to inspire other institutions or ELT professionals to consider organizing similar well-being support in their own contexts. I first outline the setting that gave rise to the project and the literature that informed it. I then describe its design and report on the benefits for teacher and student well-being, as evidenced by their engagement in the project. Finally, I reflect on the lessons learnt and the implications for practitioners elsewhere.

Abstract This reflective action research documents the mutual learning experiences of three education stakeholders as they construct their language assessment literacy (LAL). A teacher educator, an inservice teacher, and a preservice teacher were the three stakeholders who took part in a project on language assessment development for ESOL students at a public school in the United States. In this project, with the help of inservice ESOL teachers, preservice ESOL teachers designed and implemented listening and writing assessments for local middle school ESOL students. During and after the project, one of the participating inservice teachers, one preservice teacher, and the teacher educator voluntarily participated in extended reflective practices via email communications, on-site visits, and pre- and post-project discussions. All stakeholders perceived the collaboration as a mutual learning experience to enhance their LAL while sharing their respective expertise.

Kazakhstan is now embracing a trilingual education policy through the use of Kazakh, Russian, and English as mediums of instruction. The policy expects multilingual practices from the teachers of content disciplines; however, the same cannot be said for English language teachers. English language teachers are still trapped in English-only practices, making them rely on only the target language when teaching. I, as a Kazakhstani teacher who worked in a trilingual school, decided to challenge this monolingual perspective and try to incorporate multilingual practices into my teaching. In this article, I present my reflections on my past and current teaching beliefs and propose that multilingual practices in the form of pedagogical translanguaging can be seen as legitimate teaching strategies that can be part of ELT classrooms.
