A lighthouse overlooks a rocky shore

Amid the volatile waves of rapidly shifting expectations, unpredictable policy updates, and ever-changing circumstances, many educators are struggling to stay afloat. It is from within this context that we publish the fall 2025 issue of GATESOL Journal. While the articles featured in this issue vary in focus (i.e., supporting teachers of newcomers in rural schools, utilizing closed-model artificial intelligence to streamline standards alignment, and refining generative AI prompts to scaffold writing ), all address the challenge of meeting student and teacher needs, despite changing demographics and evolving technologies. Taken as a whole, this journal issue envisions the educational horizon as one in which technological tools and human expertise are thoughtfully harnessed in service of educational growth and English language development.
