The central idea of this seminar is to discuss the continuities, discontinuities and tensions between sociocultural-poststructuralist-critical perspectives and potential decolonial options to study ELT, identity, power and inequality and Second language teacher education. The outcome of the seminar should address a reflection around methodologies to research where dialogues North-South could be established if possible. This would aid to the EFI Research seminar contributing to the participants’ methodological reflections and decision making for their doctoral research.
