Abstract:

This book examines how critical literacy pedagogy has been implemented in a
classroom through a year-long collaboration between the author (a researcher)
and an EAP teacher. It details the teacher's introduction to functional
grammar and accompanying critical literacy approaches to EAP, and her growing
critical language and discourse awareness of power and meaning making in the
classroom. The book traces her evolving classroom practices and addresses how
powerful discourses in social circulation found their way into the classroom
via the curriculum materials the students encountered. The main themes of the
book are threefold: narrowing the divide between critically-oriented
researchers and practitioners; how critical literacy is actually implemented
in a teacher's classroom; and how people (students and the teacher) engage in
and with the representations and discourses of the everyday world that include
neoliberal globalization, racial and cultural identities, and consumerism. It
will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners for the ethnographic
and pedagogical issues it raises as well as its accessible theoretical
frameworks illustrated by relevant classroom interactional data, mediated,
multimodal and critical discourse analysis.
