Beskrivning

This volume focuses (self-)critically on sloganization as an emergent phenomenon in language education discourse. Motivated by an increasing uneasiness with a number of widespread concepts in current language education research that have become sloganized, this volume comprises a collection of chapters by international scholars that scrutinize the discourse of language education, identify popular slogans and reconstruct the sloganization processes. It promotes critical self-reflection of scholars and professionals in the field of language education – a field that has widely been dominated by the need to develop innovative approaches and practices, at the expense of self-critical work that attempts to situate the field and its approaches within wider historical, cultural and conceptual contexts.

Recensioner i media

This timely collection of courageous, critical and disturbing case studies of scholarly branding to promote academic research should remind teachers and researchers, but also administrators, publishers and funding institutions to keep scholarly discourse honest if it wants to remain legitimate. Sloganization is a pervasive phenomenon well worth further critical investigation.
