The article begins with a historical overview of CDST showing how the theory has moved towards theoretical maturity as a metatheory. We then go on to describe language education from a CDST perspective, building on the framework we developed in our latest book (Stelma &amp; Kostoulas, <a href=\"https:\/\/achilleaskostoulas.com\/publications\/books-edited-collections\/intentional-dynamics-tesol\/\">2021<\/a>). In the third, final part of the article, we describe three strands of CDST scholarship in applied linguistics and language education: to describe specific language learning phenomena, to generate holistic descriptions, and to outline CDST-compatible research methods.<\/p>\n<p>The article has yet to appear in print, but I am happy to share a <a href=\"https:\/\/achilleaskostoulas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/CDST-and-LE-Accepted-Version.pdf\">post-print version<\/a>, in case anyone finds it useful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is just a brief note to announce that Juup Stelma and I have just submitted an article for publication at the International Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics\u00a0(Elsevier; H.
