Gerry Yokota shows how over the course of her career, from a beginning academic to an experienced professor, she merged the three aspects of work required of career academics (teaching, research, and service to the university) to shape a life that is satisfying and revolves around what means the most to her: issues related to peace. She discusses the integration of the Japanese art form, Noh, peace studies, and English language teaching with cognitive linguistics serving as the bridge to connect these to bring them to life in the classroom.

The current systematic review summarizes the growing body of literature on the concept of emotioncy. It presents a synthesis of 61 studies discussing emotioncy related topics. The aims were to examine, interpret, and synthesize results about emotioncy to generate an in-depth and holistic discussion of the key routes of emotioncy based education and the different influencing factors at policy and practice levels. The review revealed that emotioncy has been explored in different disciplines, particularly English language teaching, Persian language teaching, neuroscience, and psychosociology. It was shown that although both empirical and theoretical studies have been conducted on emotioncy, there is abundant room for future studies to use various research methodologies and scopes. The review offers a few data-driven pedagogical implications on emotioncy-based education. The authors argue that emotioncy warrants closer scrutiny in different disciplines.

Students’ expectations have seldom received any attention in English Language Teaching (ELT) education research in the Arab World in general and in Integrated Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE)/English Medium Instruction (EMI) English for Academic Purposes (EAP) in particular, despite their importance for policy and practice. This mixed-method study investigates the expectations of 50 students attending an ICLHE/EMI EAP course at College of Law, Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in the Sultanate of Oman. The results have shown that the students had course materials and content and course pedagogy and design implementation expectations. The results have further revealed that the teacher played a key role in meeting his students’ expectations through his effective teaching. The findings have important implications for ICLHE/EMI policy implementation in other similar local, regional and global contexts. Keywords: Students’ expectations; English Language for Law (1); Integrated Content and Language in Higher Education/English Medium Instruction; English Language Teaching; College of Law
