Abstract:

This book addresses the politically charged issue of citizenship and English
language learning among adult migrants in the UK. Whilst citizenship learning
is inherent in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), the book argues
that top-down approaches and externally-designed curricula are not a
productive or useful approach. Meaningful citizenship education in adult ESOL
is possible, however, if it brings social and political content centre-stage
alongside pedagogy which develops the capabilities for active, grassroots,
participatory citizenship. The chapters deliver a detailed examination of
citizenship and ESOL in the UK. They address a range of community and
college-based settings and the needs and circumstances of different groups of
ESOL students, including refugees, migrant mothers, job seekers and students
with mental health needs. The book draws attention to the crucial role of ESOL
teachers as ‘brokers of citizenship’ mediating between national policy and the
experiences and needs of adult migrant students. The book links together
language pedagogy and citizenship theory with the practical concerns of ESOL
teachers and students.
