Reviews for Activism in Language Teaching and Language Teacher Education

An outstanding contribution to activism in language education which seeks to extend the vital conversation within our field. -- James Coda, University of Tennessee, USA In times of uncertainty and insecurity fostered by neoliberal policies that “depoliticize” and reduce teacher roles as technicians and knowledge transmitters, this book may serve as a resource for teachers and teacher educators who need social/emotional/mental support when they feel the urge to fight back discriminatory, anti-democratic, and oppressive policies and practices. This book will inspire teachers and teach educators that there is always a better option, decision, and action given that they keep fighting back social, economic, educational, and linguistic injustice. -- Ufuk Keles, Bahcesehir University, Turkey
