Abstract:

'This text is a very important work in the exploration of ESL
teaching... with exciting discussion, well-grounded in theoretical
positions and paradigms... very accessible to its audience.' Dr Pat
Smith, University of Ballarat, Australia

Addressed to researchers in Applied Linguistics, and to professional
teachers working in, or studying teaching and learning processes in,
multilingual classrooms, Critical Reading in Language Education offers
a distinctive contribution to the question of how foreign language
learners can be helped to acquire effective literacy in English. At
the heart of the book is first-hand classroom research by the author
as both teacher and researcher, demonstrating an innovative research
methodology and empirical evidence to support a critical reading
pedagogy.
