Using Literature in English Language Education
Covering Green's The Fault in Our Stars, Collins' The Hunger Games, Selznick's The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Rowling's Wizarding World, Staake's Bluebird and Winton's Lockie Leonard, contributors consider how literature can be used for teaching literary literacy, creative writing, intercultural learning, critical pedagogy and deep reading in school settings where English is the teaching medium. Leading scholars from around the world explore pedagogical principles for English Language Teaching (ELT) widening children's and teenagers' literacy competences as well as their horizons through insightful engagement with texts. From challenging picturebooks for primary and secondary students, to graphic novels, to story apps, film and drama, as well as speculative fiction on provocative topics, recent research on literature education in ELT settings combines with cognitive criticism in the field of children's, young adult and adult literature.

Criminalistics as an Educational Tool: The Formation of Critical Awareness and the Empowerment of Students as Agents of Social Transformation
Objective: To analyze how understanding the mechanisms of criminal investigation can be applied in educational contexts as a strategy for developing critical awareness, investigative skills, and empowering students as agents of social transformation. Theoretical Framework: Based on Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy (1987; 1996), active learning methodologies (MORAN, 2015), and the dialogue between education, citizenship, and justice (DEMO, 2009; DINIZ; ESTEFAM, 2016; GOHN, 2011), articulating interdisciplinary knowledge with a focus on transformative education. Method: Qualitative, theoretical-reflective research, grounded in a systematic literature review of national and international scientific sources, combined with the analysis of pedagogical practices developed in interdisciplinary educational experiences. Results and Discussion: The results show that investigative practices, such as forensic simulations, evidence analysis, ethical debates, and case studies, promote the development of critical awareness, strengthen student autonomy, and broaden their understanding of rights, duties, and social responsibility. The analysis also confirms the feasibility of implementing the proposal in different educational contexts, including those with structural limitations. Research Implications: Findings indicate the need to invest in continuous teacher training, the development of innovative curricular proposals, and public policies that recognize criminalistics as a powerful pedagogical tool for ethical and civic education. Originality/Value: This study stands out for proposing an unprecedented approach that combines criminalistics and critical education, promoting an innovative, socially engaged educational practice committed to crime prevention and strengthening youth citizenship.

Listening to Juvenile Corrections School Teachers: A Step-By-Step Process for Interview Studies Guided by Hermeneutics
The act of interviewing is a complex endeavor, and there are many pathways a researcher can take when designing their interview study. This becomes particularly critical when embarking on a study that will require participants to talk about subjects that may be sensitive in nature. In this paper, I share how I utilized a hermeneutic perspective to guide my interview study with teachers from juvenile corrections schools. I explicitly define and walk through why I selected hermeneutics. Then, I provide detailed step by step descriptions of how my data collection and analysis process was informed by the hermeneutic circle. The process is illuminated through the inclusion of findings from one juvenile corrections school teacher.

Stakeholder perceptions of secondary education quality in Sokoto State, Nigeria
Purpose
This study aims to obtain stakeholder perceptions of secondary education quality in Sokoto State, Nigeria.
Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative research approach was used by conducting interviews. Data were purposively collected from a sample of 15 education stakeholders in Sokoto State, and analyzed to extract major themes using the NVivo software program.
Findings
The results of the interviews suggested that high-quality education is defined by the following seven dimensions that fell under a systems-based framework: the provision of adequate instructional materials, the provision of educational infrastructure, imparting the “right” knowledge, meeting education “yardsticks”, provision of teacher support and welfare, creating a conducive learning atmosphere and availability of high-quality teachers.
Research limitations/implications
The research is confined to the Sokoto State only. Although the findings may be applicable to other states of the Nigerian federation, the qualitative research design limits generalization beyond the present data. The research has methodological limitations in that only a qualitative approach was used in obtaining and analyzing the data.
Practical implications
This study presents dimensions of, and a definition of, secondary education quality, as perceived by education stakeholders in Sokoto State, Nigeria. This systems-based definition could be useful to the government in re-designing its educational plans and ensuring quality in secondary education programs. Once fully applied in the educational system, issues of low-quality education and graduation of unprepared students can be addressed more systematically. The goal of admitting more competent school leavers into tertiary institutions could also be pursued actively. Other social challenges, such as juvenile delinquency, can likewise be addressed. The study draws attention of those responsible for education provision in Nigeria to look inward to focus on those dimensions that need prompt and urgent improvements so that education quality can be ensured for a better society.
Originality/value
This study provides a systems-based framework of educational quality to guide school improvement efforts in Nigerian secondary schools that reflect values of regional stakeholders. This study demonstrates an easy-to-apply method for deriving educational quality indicators with stakeholder involvement. The dimensions obtained are supported by theory and the literature discussed.
