Abstract:

This volume stands as a demonstration of resistance to 'the known' (i.e. the
tyranny of the expected) through individual and collective counter-conduct
within the domain of language education. Supported by data drawn from various
local and national contexts, the professional experiences of the authors
reveal how the pedagogies, practices, and policies of 'the institution' often
reflect an imperative to provide a brand of language education disinterested
with the ideological and political foundations of its own imposition. While
being forthright in its quest to resist and deconstruct certain 'knowns', the
primary sentiment underpinning this volume does not withhold the hand of
reconciliation, recreation and reconstruction. As a project of hope, this
volume reminds all language educators that our role is multifaceted, continual
and cast in service not of our special interest groups, our institutional
paymasters, or ourselves, but rather of the individual students who trust that
our professionalism will support them in a self-authoring an empowering
educational experience without compromising their integrity as human beings.
