announces the forthcoming publication:

''Transformative Pedagogical Perspectives on Home Language Use in
Classrooms.''

Edited by Dr Janice E. Jules & Dr. Korah Belgrave,
Faculty of Humanities & Education, The University of the West Indies.

Chapter Proposal deadline: October 22, 2019. (1000 - 1500 words)

Linguists, researchers and other practitioners in language education
acknowledge that the resolution of language problems associated with breaking
down language and cultural barriers which hinder the growth of learners’
self-identity and national identity is on-going. In fact, even with decades of
research in home language use in the classroom there are still classrooms
worldwide where learners are deprived of the opportunity of building their
self-esteem, confidence and autonomy by communicating with their
mother-tongue. Such instances draw attention to the global nature of
communication which requires speakers who are able to use all the languages in
their repertoire effectively for communication rather than sacrificing one
language for another. These details reinforce the point that classroom
instruction which negates use of home language requires the type of
repositioning and application of (Pai, Adler & Shadiow, 2006; Edwards, 2009) a
model of critical pedagogy associated with transformative pedagogy.

When applied in the classroom, transformative pedagogy enables learners to
draw on their background experiences to create an awareness of the various
barriers, inclusive of language barriers, that retard their progress. This
positive pedagogical shift motivates and encourages learners to make effective
use of their home language in their quest to become effective communicators in
another language or in the standard variety of their first language. This
edited book provides the opportunity for readers to view home language as a
valuable asset for each learner rather than a deterrent to his or her language
development and social progress. Ideally, the content informs and motivates
teachers who have avoided or ignored the shift to using home language in their
classroom as well as lends further support for those individuals who are
already members in this transformative movement.
