The field of TESOL encompasses English teachers who teach English
as an additional language in English-dominant countries and those
teachers who teach English as a foreign language in countries where
a language other than English is the official language. This range
of educators teaches English to children, adolescents, and adults
in primary, secondary, post-secondary, popular education, and
language academies or tutoring centers. The diversity of learners
and contexts within the TESOL field presents a unique opportunity
for educators to address varied educational and societal needs.
This opportunity calls for TESOL educators who can support the
whole learner in a range of contexts for the greater social good.
There is an urgent need for readily reproducible and step-by-step
research-based practices and current standards in TESOL that bridge
the gap between critical scholarship and equitable teaching
practices. This book would serve as a critical addition to current
literature in TESOL. TESOL Guide for Critical Praxis in Teaching,
Inquiry, and Advocacy is an essential reference that provides
practical and equitable step-by-step guides for TESOL educators
through the current best practices and methods for effective and
equity-minded teaching, critical inquiry, and transformative
advocacy. This book is of particular value as it bridges theories
to practices with a critical look at racial and social justice in
English language teaching, which will lead to the integration of
social justice-focused practice across the new curriculum. Covering
topics such as integrated language instruction, equity and
inclusivity, critical consciousness, and online learning, this text
is essential for in-service and pre-service TESOL educators,
education students, researchers, administrators, teacher educators,
and academicians.
