This book examines the teaching of English language learners (ELL)
by exploring topics not typically covered in theory or methods
textbooks. Although methods texts commonly draw readers through
well-known strategies such as the audio-lingual method, this book,
by contrast, focuses attention on how music can advance and improve
language skills. Looking broadly at the sociocultural implications
of ELD, T llez examines the role of the teacher in introducing and
inspiring students to learn both a new language and a new society.
Furthermore, he offers alterative views of language, and shows how
a deeper understanding of it can shape and enrich the lives of both
students and teachers. Drawing upon progressive pragmatic
philosophy of Dewey, Addams, and Rorty, this book helps teachers to
understand the important lineage and profession they have joined
(or will join), and the urgent role they play as agents of
democratic ideals and actions.
