This edited collection brings to the forefront attempts to connect critical pedagogy and ELT
(English Language Teaching) in different parts of the world. The authors in this collection
write from their own experiences giving the chapters nuanced understanding of the everyday
struggles that teachers teacher educators and researchers face within different contexts.
Throughout the book contributors connect micro-contexts (classrooms) with macro-contexts
(world migration politics and social issues) to demonstrate the impact and influences of
pedagogy. In problematizing ELT and focusing on so-called ¿peripheral¿ countries where
educators have created their own critical pedagogies to respond to their own local realities
the contributors construct ELT in a way that goes beyond the typical ESL EFL distinction. This
unique edited collection will appeal to teacher educators in-service teachers working in the
field as well as students and scholars of English language teaching second language
acquisition and language education policy.
