Antisocial Language Teaching : English and the Pervasive Pathology of Whiteness Paperback / softback
by JPB Gerald
Part of the New Perspectives on Language and Education series
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
The centering of whiteness in English Language Teaching (ELT) renders the industry callous, corrupt and cruel; or, antisocial.
Using the diagnostic criteria for Antisocial Personality Disorder as a rhetorical device, this book examines major issues with the ideologies and institutions behind the discipline of ELT and diagnoses the industry as in dire need of treatment, with the solution being a full decentering of whiteness.
A vision for a more just version of ELT is offered as an alternative to the harm caused by its present-day incarnation.
With a unique linkage of discourse on whiteness, language and ability, this book will be necessary reading for students, academics and administrators involved in ELT around the world.
