Abstract:

"Queering the English Language Classroom" provides English language teachers
with practical advice for creating queer inclusive educational spaces. It
keeps theoretical discussion to a minimum, focusing instead on how to apply
advances in LGBTQ+ research in TESOL and applied linguistics to the classroom.

This book highlights how heteronormative classrooms can silence sexually
diverse student populations and halt language learning and acquisition
processes, and provides research-grounded recommendations for how to challenge
normative views of language and culture. In doing so, it advances a queer
inquiry pedagogical approach that will help students to see how identity,
including sexual identity, is implicated in systems of power and values. It
discusses strategies for selecting inclusive curricular content and for
troubling mainstream, commercial materials. It also contains advice to
teachers on how to handle student and institutional resistance to creating
queer inclusive spaces, with a particular note on how to respond to questions
in contexts where engaging with LGBTQ+ content can become a fraught exercise.

"Queering the English Language Classroom" offers an invaluable guide to
English language teachers, from pre-/early-service to late-career.
