Enriching Esol Pedagogy: Readings and Activities for Engagement, Reflection, and Inquiry
Editat de Vivian Zamel, Ruth Spacken Limba Engleză Paperback – iul 2002
The readings included represent a range of genres. They are informed by a common philosophical perspective about language acquisition and treat language teaching and learning holistically. The book is organized into five integrated units that:
* raise questions about conventional notions of methods;
* take into account the complicated nature of real classrooms;
* provide theoretical principles for teaching that promotes language acquisition;
* include rich descriptions of actual classroom experiences; and
* question assumptions about language and literacy.
Each set of readings begin with a "Before Reading" section and is followed by "Reflecting on the Readings," "Reading for Further Reflection," and "Suggested Projects for Inquiry" sections.
This volume is a valuable resource for practicing and prospective teachers in the field of TESOL who work with diverse student populations--at all levels--in both mainstream and ESL/bilingual settings.

ProfessionalRecenzii
"this anthology has two major strengths: (a) the essays in the collection are well-written and well-documented articles, mainly by leading specialists in ESOL research and pedagogy; and (b) the reflection and inquiry activities designed by the editors stimulate introspection, application, and extension of the ideas presented in each section of the book."
—The Modern Language Journal
"...this is a book that ESOL methods teachers and students should find very useful in grappling with some of the more salient issues in the field."
—Studies in Second Language Acquisition
"I am very enthusiastic about this book. It will provide a much-needed resource for the field."

"Zamel and Spack have set out to rectify a major problem with second language and literacy teacher training, and that is its lack of intellectual depth, a lack stemming from a historical focus on classroom practice as separated from theory-making....By asking faculty/teachers-in-training to think about others' ideas and experience and their own, to observe and reflect, to work on making sense of what they know, and to connect and integrate in order to create their own learning, they are bringing second-language training into social theory and vice versa....This book has the potential for affecting significant change."
