| Summary: | "Teaching and learning languages and intercultural communication is not a neutral enterprise. Critical Pedagogy, as a movement and an intellectual field, engages with the political, cultural and ideological questions raised in educational practice. In Critical Pedagogy: Political Approaches to Language and Intercultural Communication the respective fields of languages, intercultural communication and critical pedagogy are brought into dialogue." "Critical Pedagogy itself is represented by Henry Giroux, in an article that brings the sufferings of international youth abruptly to our attention. Giroux engages critically with neoliberalism and rapacious globalisation, and argues for principles of social justice and democracy as part of the responsibility of public intellectuals. Turner works within the context of language and intercultural studies, focusing on issues of post-colonialism and the subaltern in academic literacy. Nainby, Warren and Bollinger bring up the perspectives of communication studies to bear on the constitutive nature of communication within a critical pedagogy. Finally Diaz-Greenberg and Nevin examine the implications of Critical Pedagogy, and of listening to the voices of foreign language student teachers, for foreign language educators."--BOOK JACKET. |
