Although these elements contribute to the teacher&rsquo;s professional development, they often leave sociocultural and ideological factors underexplored. Foundational elements within training programs, including teachers&rsquo; professional identity, the role of mother tongue, and broader views of culture, are often overlooked as the programs prioritize step-by-step instruction. Furthermore, hierarchical institutional systems frequently restrict teachers&rsquo; pedagogical autonomy and embed them within broader frameworks of monitoring and evaluation (Uysal &amp; Gao, 2026). To address these shortcomings, Jaber Kamali&rsquo;s Language as Power in the Language Teacher Education Ecosystem (2026) responds to these gaps by highlighting language as a central domain where authority and professional expectations are negotiated within the LTE ecosystem.
