About this book
This edited book brings together a collection of research-based chapters that address a variety of topics related to the teaching of English in different contexts around the world. The chapters are informed by a critical approach to research, employing a variety of research methods to question and problematize taken-for-granted definitions and practices in areas such as classroom pedagogy, testing, curriculum, language policy, the position of English as a medium of instruction, educational management, teacher education, materials and evaluation. This book addresses a major gap in theoretical and research literature in the area of teaching English, and it will be of interest to trainee and practising teachers, research students and scholars of EFL and TESOL, and researchers in applied linguistics.
Reviews
“Troudi has deftly woven together a collection of international research projects borne out of critical theory, critical education and critical applied linguistics. The researchers are former doctoral students across some 20 years at the University of Exeter, each representing different nationalities. Together, the studies present a clear model for questioning set definitions, language policies and many taken-for-granted perspectives in TESOL, more specifically in EMI. This volume will be a welcome addition to professional libraries”. --Frank B. Brooks, Professor Emeritus, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, USA
