Adult Esl: Politics, Pedagogy, and Participation in Classroom and Community Programs

Editat de Trudy Smoke
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 1998
The essays in this book focus on political strategies, pedagogical models, and community programs that enable adult ESL learners to become vital members of North American society. This is particularly important in our present time of contraction and downsizing in the education of non-native speakers. The authors represent a broad range of programs and perspectives, but they all have in common the goal of enabling both faculty and students to become full participants in our society and thereby to gain control over their futures. Readers of this book will develop an understanding of the ways in which innovative educators are creating strategies for maintaining language programs and services.

Recenzii

"This resource is essential reading for anyone associated with the delivery, management, and promotion of ESL programs. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and faculty, professionals and practitioners."
CHOICE
"...an excellent reference or teaching text for TESL or Applied Linguistics programs. Classroom teachers and program administrators may also find inspiration and concrete suggestions for empowering their students and fighting the political battles necessary to keep ESL on the minds of legislators."
TESL-EJ
"...its effective combination of theoretical and practical material makes this a very powerful collection for those interested in the political dimension of adult ESL education. The book presents compelling evidence in support of its underlying thesis that adoption of a political perspective on pedagogical concerns is both justified and in fact essential."
Journal of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology
"...by going beyond ESL pedagogy and discussing the ways in which it is affected by the wider social, economic, and political environment, this collection fulfills its purpose of presenting the 'research, pedagogy, and reflections of ESL practitioners who are making an effort to enable their students to become more active and literate individuals who are aware of social and political issues that face our world today.'"
