Description:
With a strong focus on decoloniality and social justice, this volume brings together critical theories, concepts, and practices on TESOL from multiple Brazilian perspectives.
Review Quotes:
"This book brings TESOL from Brazil out of the shadows it has been cast under by its own modernity/coloniality. Its chapters point to a local, post-abyssal perspective on English, hinting at how such situatedness can inspire other localities in their praxes with this language. A must-read, no doubt."
Clarissa Jórdão, Federal University of Paraná, Brazil
"This exhilarating book seeks to delink language education in Brazil from the colonial and hegemonic ways of thinking and doing that have for so long defined the field. The chapters here make a compelling case for a decolonial approach."
Alastair Pennycook, Professor Emeritus, University of Technology Sydney, Australia
"This is an impressive and inspiring call to action for a decolonial approach to TESOL in Brazil. For those of us who have spent many years in Teaching English as an International Language, this collection is a timely reminder that there is still much more to learn from the Global South. Congratulations to the editor and contributors."
