"Enriching ESOL Pedagogy: Readings and Activities for Engagement,
Reflection, and Inquiry" is a collection of thought-provoking
articles and activities designed to engage practicing and
prospective ESOL teachers in an ongoing process of reflecting on,
critically examining, and investigating theory and practice. Its
twofold purpose is to provide a theoretical perspective and to
offer ways for making the teaching of English to speakers of other
languages (ESOL) meaningful for both teachers and learners.
Underlying the activities and the readings themselves is the
assumption that teachers need to play a role in exploring, shaping,
and theorizing the work they do.
The readings included represent a range of genres. They are
informed by a common philosophical perspective about language
acquisition and treat language teaching and learning holistically.
The book is organized into five integrated units that:
* raise questions about conventional notions of methods;
* take into account the complicated nature of real
classrooms;
* provide theoretical principles for teaching that promotes
language acquisition;
* include rich descriptions of actual classroom experiences;
and
* question assumptions about language and literacy.
Each set of readings begin with a "Before Reading" section and is
followed by "Reflecting on the Readings," "Reading for Further
Reflection," and "Suggested Projects for Inquiry" sections.
This volume is a valuable resource for practicing and prospective
teachers in the field of TESOL who work with diverse student
populations--at all levels--in both mainstream and ESL/bilingual
settings.
