Book Description
This text brings together two significant domains of educational
practice: foreign language education and critical pedagogy--linking them
in a way that can help foreign language educators develop a critical
awareness of the nature, purposes, and challenges facing foreign
language pedagogy. Unique among texts in the field, this is the first to
deal explicitly with the social, political, ideological, and economic
aspects of language, language learning, and language teaching in our
society and to connect the practice of foreign language education with
these critical, and crucial, aspects of language and language use. The Foreign Language Educator in Society: Toward A Critical Pedagogy:
*emphasizes what teachers and future teachers of foreign languages in
this country ought to know and understand about language-- language
attitudes, practices, rights, and policy-- and related issues;
*focuses on helping students to move beyond pragmatic pedagogical
concerns to the social and political concerns relevant to their
teaching; and
*provides students with the opportunity to develop
critical perspectives on the central facets of the language education
process.
Intended for foreign language education programs at
both basic and advanced levels, as well as courses in critical pedagogy,
critical language awareness, sociolinguistics, and social and cultural
foundations of education, the text provides helpful pedagogical features
to direct the reader in applying the content of each chapter to his or
her own context.
