Description
Addressed to researchers in applied linguistics, and to teachers working in multilingual classrooms, this book offers a distinctive contribution to the question of how foreign language learners can be helped to acquire effective literacy in English. At the heart of the book is first-hand classroom research by the author as both teacher and researcher, demonstrating an innovative research methodology and empirical evidence to support a critical reading pedagogy.
Catherine Wallace is a Senior Lecturer in Education at the Institute of Education, University of London.
“The definitive text on critical reading for second language pedagogy. It incorporates a substantive, lucid, and respectful critique of current formulations of theories of critical literacy, as well as offering concrete, elaborated exemplifications of alternatives. This book will be invaluable in preparing teachers for second language classrooms; it is a must-read for second language researchers and practitioners alike.”–Elsa Auerbach, University of Massachusetts, Boston
