Beskrivning

This book brings the voices of teachers into the fierce debates about language ideologies and cultural pedagogies in English language teaching. Through interviews and classroom observations in Chile and California, this study compares the controversies around English as a global language with the similar cultural tensions in programs for immigrants. The author explores the development of teacher identity in these two very different contexts, and through the narratives of both experienced and novice teachers demonstrates how teacher identity affects the cultural pedagogies enacted in their classrooms.

Recensioner i media

Menard-Warwick's comparative study of English language teachers in Chile and California is consistently insightful and theoretically engaging, particularly in its treatment of Bakhtin and the exploration of dialogue and interculturality through 'discursive faultlines'. This important book is also timely, given current field interest in identity pedagogies and the inner world of language teachers as a key dimension of professional development.
