THIS BOOK ARTICULATES AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS MEANT BY THE TERM
_SOCIAL JUSTICE_ FROM A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE, DRAWING UPON EXAMPLES OF
PRACTICE FROM ACROSS A RANGE OF ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES (EAP)
AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING (ELT) HIGHER EDUCATION CONTEXTS.
Presently, within western higher educational systems, there is a drive
for greater integration of approaches that lend themselves to social
justice. However, questions still remain about what that means in
practice. This book seeks to answer that not by telling but by
showing. It presents a series of chapters that act as vignettes into a
diverse set of classrooms, contexts and countries, offering examples
of how and where an epistemology of social justice has been put into
practice in teaching and learning situations. Such situations range
from cross-continental higher educational partnerships between east
and west to instances of EAP practitioners' work with refugees from
North Africa and the Middle East. These examples are threaded together
by the common goal of understanding what it is that defines an
enactment of social justice and what the shared denominators are
across these contexts. Through looking at these various examples, the
authors produce a set of codes and themes that are common to practice
across contexts and discuss how these might help inform practice in
other areas of language education, higher education and educational
development work in general.
