The chapters delve into the epistemological landscapes of these fields, examining their commitment to English teaching and English-related topics, as well as the intersection of language colonialism and the dominance of English worldwide. The book explores the type of discussion that is necessary to advance a more nuanced understanding of sociopolitical circumstances and how they shape our academic practices and theorizations of ELT and TESOL. By examining the current geopolitics of knowledge that favors the Global North, the chapters also explore ways to decolonize language practices, teaching approaches, and research cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book advocates for greater visibility and recognition of Southern ways of knowing within ELT and TESOL practice and research, making it an essential resource for scholars, researchers, and students in the fields of TESOL, ELT, Applied Linguistics, and multilingualism. It encourages a deeper exploration of the complexities and nuances of the Global South, promoting a more inclusive and equitable approach to language education and teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032334479\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HamzaR'boul","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44528853516538,"sku":"9781032334479","price":141.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692379440168_book.jpg?v=1693481675","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/postcolonial-challenges-to-theory-and-practice-in-elt-and-tesol-geopolitics-of-knowledge-and-epistemologies-of-the-south-9781032334479","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
