This book explicitly addresses ethical dilemmas and issues that
post-secondary ESL faculty commonly encounter and examines them in
the framework of social justice concerns. Ethics is defined
broadly, to include responsibilities and obligations to students
inside and outside the classroom, as well to colleagues,
educational institutions, the TESL profession, and society as a
whole.
Scenarios in each chapter provide realistic and compelling
situations for reflection and discussion. The authors then set out
the issues raised, relate them to the classroom environment, and
offer opportunities to examine them in a variety of contexts and to
consider possible solutions to the dilemmas. Issues include
testing, plagiarism, technology, social and political issues
affecting students and the classroom, gift-giving, curriculum
decisions, disruptive students, institutional constraints, academic
freedom, gender, class, and power.
Busy classroom instructors will find this book accessible,
thought-provoking, and relevant to their daily work situations. It
is not intended as a theoretical treatment of ethics and social
justice in ESL, nor does it propose that ESL faculty teach morals
or ethics to students. Rather, it is designed as a concise,
practical introduction to ethical practice for both new and
experienced ESL faculty in post-secondary teaching situations in
the United States, for others interested in the ESL classroom, and
as a text for TESL classes and seminars.
"Ethical Issues for ESL Faculty: " *maps new territory in the
field--ethical issues in TESL, particularly as encountered by
post-secondary classroom teachers, are not often discussed in ESL
publications;
*makes the complex issues of ethics in the context of social
justice accessible to TESL practitioners; and
*includes useful resources, such as additional scenarios for
discussion, an extensive reference list, and selected
ethics-related Web sites.
