Local Tests of English in Global Contexts: A Malaysian Case Study

open access: yesWorld Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global tests of English are usually used globally and local tests locally. However, this global–local dichotomy has been challenged by test localisation, globalisation and glocalisation.

Organizational Soundscapes and the Sonicity of Voices: The Power of the ‘Sounds’ that Carry ‘Words’

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 2305-2331, September 2026.
Abstract Organizations are soundscapes – they resonate with sounds and particularly the sounds of voices. Somehow however voice sonics, that is the sounds of voices and not the words carried on those sounds, have escaped attention in management studies. This absence of analysis is peculiar given voice sonics' undoubted influence on management (they may
