The centering of whiteness in ELT is criticized for being callous, corrupt, and cruel, and this book offers a solution of a full decentering of whiteness for a more just version of the discipline.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 192 pages
Publication date: 21 September 2022
Publisher: Multilingual Matters


The dominant focus on whiteness in English Language Teaching (ELT) has led to a perception of the industry as callous, corrupt, and cruel, or even antisocial. By employing the diagnostic criteria for Antisocial Personality Disorder as a rhetorical device, this book delves into critical concerns surrounding the ideologies and institutions that underpin ELT. It diagnoses the industry as severely ill and in urgent need of treatment, proposing that the solution lies in a complete decentering of whiteness.

As an alternative to the harm caused by the current incarnation of ELT, a vision for a more just version of the discipline is presented. This book offers a unique perspective by linking discourse on whiteness, language, and ability, making it an essential read for students, academics, and administrators engaged in ELT across the globe.
