Intentional dynamics is a new perspective on the meaning-making that shapes TESOL contexts, activity, and outcomes. Intentional dynamics represents a synthesis of complex systems and ecological theories, which are becoming increasingly prominent in education and the social sciences. This novel perspective challenges and extends existing scholarship, with a range of theoretical and practical implications for TESOL research, practice, and policy.

Stelma and Kostoulas have enriched the potential of the partnership between complex dynamic systems and ecological theories by contributing the concept of intentionality. Importantly, their model of intentional dynamics places meaning and meaning-making at the heart of an ecological and complex dynamic systems account of TESOL. The authors don't stop with theory. They illustrate the power of their model in exemplifying four different contexts and types of activities, reinterpreting them through the lens offered by their model and thereby making a case for its versatility. In so doing, they demonstrate its real-world relevance to the TESOL teaching and research community. In addition to conceiving of language learning as intentional becoming, their understanding affords a critical-intentional perspective on power, freedom, and agency to counter injustice-a perspective that is much-needed in the world today.
