"Chinese-American educator Wong (George Mason U.) has taught ESL since the early 1970s in the U.S. and Asia. She explores the significance of feminist and womanist theories and women's ways of knowing for dialogic approaches in the field of TESOL, calling for the integration of antiracist, feminist, and critical perspectives. Following a concise overview of the political and philosophical roots of ESL teaching methods, she introduces the newest approach, dialogic pedagogy, and its key features: learning in community, problem- posing, learning by doing, and its question of who knowledge serves. For preservice and practicing teachers and teacher educators who want to bring critical multicultural and multilingual perspectives into language arts, reading, and literacy education."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE.
