What pedagogic challenges and opportunities arise as gay,
lesbian, and queer themes and perspectives become an increasingly
visible part of English language classes within a variety of
language learning contexts and levels? What sorts of teaching
practices are needed in order to productively explore the
sociosexual aspects of language, identity, culture, and
communication? How can English language teachers promote language
learning through the development of teaching approaches that do not
presume an exclusively heterosexual world?
Drawing on the experiences of over 100 language teachers and
learners, and using a wide range of research and theory, especially
queer education research, this innovative, cutting-edge book
skillfully interweaves classroom voices and theoretical analysis to
provide informed guidance and a practical framework of
macrostrategies English language teachers (of any sexual
identification) can use to engage with lesbian/gay themes in the
classroom. In so doing, it illuminates broader questions about how
to address social diversity, social inequity, and social inquiry in
a classroom context.
