Rethinking Established Approaches in the Language Classroom and Beyond : Noncolonial Perspectives

Omtale

This volume approaches language education through the lens of noncoloniality. The three parts of this volume comprise a discussion of noncolonial perspectives on the language classroom, an examination of noncolonial pedagogical proposals, and a critical analysis of teaching materials and normative documents regulating teaching practice. This volume underscores the need to move beyond critique and embrace creation and a pedagogy of hope in education, in the Freirean sense. It provides useful insights for researchers in applied linguistics, sociology, and related fields, and for educators (critical pedagogues) in higher education, secondary schools, and alternative school forms.
