Language Textbooks in the era of Neoliberalism: Language, Society and Political Economy

Autor Pau Bori
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2020
This book examines how neoliberalism finds expression in foreign language textbooks. Moving beyond the usual focus on English, Pau Bori explores the impact of neoliberal ideology on Catalan textbooks. By comparing Catalan textbooks to English textbooks, this book interrogates the similarities and differences between a minor and a global language in the age of neoliberalism. Drawing on insights from critical theory and critical pedagogy, this study provides a fresh perspective on foreign language textbooks and second language education more broadly. Language Textbooks in the Era of Neoliberalism paves the way for new critical perspectives in language education that will challenge the current hegemony of neoliberalism.

Recenzii

This is a sobering book to read. One of Bori’s aims is ‘to awaken
awareness among the educational and academic communities about the
necessity to look critically at textbooks from a political and economic
perspective’ (p. 162). The book has a lot to say to materials developers, to
make us question what we are portraying and the possible consequences.
