Critical theory, intercultural theory, critical pedagogy, and
complexity theory: all of these and others have yet to penetrate
the shell of foreign-language pedagogy in a systematic way. The
field remains concerned primarily--and understandably--with the
instrumental demands of facilitating the skills of speaking,
listening, reading, and writing. It is often argued that practice
is theory-light and theory is practice-light. Consequently, it has
proven notoriously difficult to bridge the theory-practice gap.
AAUSC 2010 Volume provides a frank and provocative treatment of
theory in language teaching and learning, arguing for alternative
understanding that may overcome the conflicts between theory and
practice. Fostering sophisticated translingual and transcultural
competences, linking the work of the language classroom with the
profound mission and goals of the humanities, and helping
university-level language education contribute to the fostering of
compassion and even the transformation of global conflict are now
part of the language pedagogy pursuit. To move the language
profession in this long-overdue direction, the contributions to
this volume provide insightful analyses of foreign-language
curriculum, teaching, and learning in a postmodern world and the
ways that a range of theoretical frameworks can or already do
contribute to our thinking about these issues. The volume gives the
reader unfamiliar with theory a thumbnail introduction to a range
of models and frameworks, offers numerous practical steps for
curriculum design and classroom practice derived from theoretical
principles, and also provides fuel for crucial transformative
discussions and debates in language departments.
