"This second volume of “ELT Women in Research” presents a vital exploration of the contributions made by women in the field of English Language Teaching (ELT). As the educational landscape undergoes rapid transformations, it is essential to spotlight the innovative research and practices that women educators and researchers bring to the forefront. The chapters presented reveal a wealth of knowledge, highlighting the experiences, challenges, and triumphs of female educators and researchers across the globe. This collection not only showcases their scholarly work but also emphasizes the importance of community, identity, inclusivity, and social justice in shaping effective teaching practices.
The chapters are thoughtfully organized into four sections, each addressing critical themes that resonate within contemporary educational contexts!"
