Diversity and Inclusivity in English Language Education, Gebunden

Klappentext

Demonstrates the importance of embracing inclusivity and diversity in order to improve the teaching and learning of English.

This book addresses the twin themes of diversity and inclusivity in classrooms where English is taught as a foreign, second, additional or international language. The chapters cover theory, empirical research, and practice in order to support researchers, teacher educators, teachers, policymakers and materials developers who wish to make English language education more effective, inclusive and innovative.

The chapters explore a wide range of international contexts and a variety of educational contexts, and address issues including power structures, learner positionality, decolonised English standards, neurodiversity, marginalised silence, student agency in curriculum reform, task design for all learners, and collaboration drawing on diversity as a resource. The book offers an unusually intricate picture of issues that are at the forefront of the minds of educators around the world.
