Bloomsbury World Englishes Volume 1: Paradigms
Author: Britta Schneider
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350065803
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
"Divided into three volumes and edited by established scholars in the field, Bloomsbury World Englishes provides critical insights into aspects of the global uses and roles of English and their implications. The Paradigms volume analyzes the ways in which we make sense of the English as a global language, its many varieties and how these come into contact and mix with other languages. Its main goal is to move the field forward and beyond existing 'models' that begin to be unfit to describe English(es) in the era of globalization. The Ideologies volume explores the politics and economics of English as well as how the language has an impact on local societies and cultures. The chapters in the volume describe how English is often entangled in societal issues such as inequality, (de-)colonization, racism, oppression, liberation. The Pedagogies volume addresses one of the most important themes in World Englishes: the teaching of English as a world language. The chapters in this volume discuss the teaching and learning of English(es) from a range of perspectives and on the basis of experiences and research from many parts of the world"--

Power in Language, Culture, Literature and Education
Author: Marta Degani
Publisher: Narr Francke Attempto Verlag
ISBN: 382330481X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
In one of the contributions to this edited volume an interviewee argues that "English is power". For researchers in the field of English Studies this raises the questions of where the power of English resides and which types and practices of power are implied in the uses of English. Linguists, scholars of literature and culture, and language educators address aspects of these questions in a wide range of contributions. The book shows that the power of English can oscillate between empowerment and subjection, on the one hand enabling humans to develop manifold capabilities and on the other constraining their scope of action and reflection. In this edited volume, a case is made for self-critical English Studies to be dialogic, empowering and power-critical in approach.

Postcolonial Challenges to Theory and Practice in ELT and TESOL
Author: Hamza R'boul
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000927121
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Drawing on the underrepresentation of the Global South in global knowledge production with a focus on the existing inequalities, the book highlights the importance of postcolonial narratives within Global Southern epistemologies in English language teaching (ELT) and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). Chapters consider the epistemological landscapes of these fields, their dedication to English teaching and English-related topics, and the intersection of the coloniality of language and the supremacy of English worldwide. The book explores the type of discussion that is needed to advance a more nuanced understanding of sociopolitical circumstances and how they shape our academic practices and theorizations of ELT and TESOL. In doing so, chapters examine the current geopolitics of knowledge that are found in journal publishing, citing how it favours the Global North, and further exploring ways of decolonizing language practices, teaching approaches and research cultures. Calling for greater visibility and recognition of Southern ways of knowing within ELT and TESOL practice and research, the book will be an essential reading for scholars, researchers and students of TESOL, ELT, Applied Linguistics and multilingualism.

Pursuing Social Justice Agendas in Caribbean Higher Education
Author: Talia R. Esnard
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040125557
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
This book offers a treatment of social justice and higher education within small island developing states like the Caribbean. This is a timely exploration of some of the global-local, structure-actor, policy-practice debates that connect directly to the promise and the challenges of pursuing social justice agendas within and beyond Caribbean institutions of higher education. In this book, the key points of examination are the (i) changing patterns within the global higher education landscape, emerging mandates for university systems, (ii) the perspectives and challenges for diverse student and staff populations, and (iii) the ways in which these collectively impact social justice agendas within institutions of higher education. The contextualization and politicization of these issues within the broader discourse of small island developing states deepens the understanding of the prospects and challenges of addressing social injustices within the contemporary landscape, but with some re-engagement of existing conceptions and theorizations (related to inclusivity, diversity, equity, ontology, coloniality, postcolonial and critical race theory) to inform how actors within these institutions can strategically respond. It will be vital reading for scholars and educational researchers with interests in higher education, social justice, and small island developing states (SIDS).
