Thru CDA and platformization, I show how these platforms commodify education and reshape ELT into the “platformized ELT ecosystem.” It contributes to the growing scholarship on AI discourses, showing how AI in education isn’t just a tool, but also a powerful commercial strategy.

🤖 From glossy .ai domain names to grand promises of “personalized learning,” AI-powered language platforms are everywhere. But what’s really behind the hype? My new paper takes a critical look at 48 platforms that brand themselves as AI-driven.

Why did #Turkey (or Türkiye) get the works? That’s nobody’s business but President #Erdoğan’s! 🇹🇷 My new article dives into the story behind the country’s recent rebranding — from 🦃 bird jokes to bad puns, from political spin to the fight for a new global image.

@ian_cushing Huge congrats, Ian! Impressive! 👏

academic promotions are always a collective effort and i am so thankful to all those who have supported me in my promotion to Reader in Critical Applied Linguistics. 🎉 now it's my turn to do more to support early career researchers and push the discipline in new directions 🌸🫶

Heartfelt thanks to Heath Rose, Mona Nishizaki, Nicola Galloway, and Jim McKinley for curating such a rich, diverse and critically engaged intellectual space. I am deeply grateful to share this space with such an inspiring community!

To be in the presence of so many brilliant minds and to speak to such a thoughtful and engaged community was both humbling and energizing. I am still reflecting on the depth of thought, dialogue and connection that filled the room and beyond.

In this new publication in Applied Linguistics, I connect the dots between influencer culture, self-branding, and language ideologies and raising important questions about the future of language education in the platformized ELT ecosystem.

What does it mean when teachers also become brands? How do language ideologies get packaged multimodally and circulated in a 30-second Reel? What are the implications at the nexus of ELT professionals and linguistic hierarchies?

@mehmett_sak Tebrikler, as always! 👏

Just out in the European Journal of Education (Open Access) Based on my own stories, I argue that autoethnographic writing can prompt critical thinking on ways to build resilience and thus can help improve professional functioning. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
