Literacy Autobiographies from the Global South: An Autoethnographic Study of English Literacy in China: Global South Perspectives on TESOL
Autor Shizhou Yangen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 dec 2022
The book presents literacy autobiographies as a cultural tool for analyzing and refashioning learners’ and teachers’ sense of self in ever-expanding dialogical spaces. In addition to highlighting teachers’ own stories around autoethnographies and translanguaging, it showcases literacy autobiographies from Chinese students themselves. The book theorizes the Global South as an ontological positioning that challenges colonial mindsets and practices concerning literacy, language learning, and narratives. It argues that literacy autobiographies from a Global South perspective can be reimagined as critical pedagogy for EFL writing teaching and learning, as well as teacher development.
Validating and expanding student voices by presenting these literacy autobiographies, this book will be of great interest to researchers and students in the fields of TESOL, applied linguistics, English language teaching, second language writing, and literacy studies.

Recenzii
"Shizhou Yang has taken an innovative Global South perspective on literacy autobiographies with stories by himself as an EFL writing teacher as well as those by his students from China in diverse transnational contexts. The result is a fascinating and thought-provoking account that not only contributes to theoretical discussions of concepts such as critical pedagogy, translanguaging, and writing ecology, but also to pedagogical practices that will truly enable and empower the learners, and the teachers, to develop their own voices. As such, it is a major contribution to translingual and decolonising turn in language education research."
Professor Li Wei, Director & Dean, UCL Institute of Education, University College London, UK.
Like his cicada after its long formation,
Shizhou emerges with translingual poetry
Breaking free from the global and colonizing
Pressures against his voice in literacy.
Not alone, he emerges with his whole musical army—
His students—with their own translingual story.
But these cicadas won’t die too quickly;
Their voices will transform the dominant pedagogy.
Suresh Canagarajah, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor, Pennsylvania State University
"This is a captivating book about the liberating intellectual journey of Shizhou Yang, who has found his voice and identity as a multilingual scholar through writing his own literacy autobiography. Also featuring the autobiographical writing of the author’s students situated in a marginalized context, the book celebrates the power of literacy autobiography as an undervalued genre in EFL contexts, demonstrating how it is intertwined with identity work, voice development, and knowledge creation. I highly recommend the book to everyone."
Icy Lee, Professor, Faculty of Education, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China
"Featuring literacy autobiography and poetic inquiry as methodology, this book has provided EFL teachers and students with a proven way to gain liberation from the shackles of modernism and neoliberalism. It is a must-read for anyone who is keen in search for Southern epistemologies in English language teaching."
