Native-Speakerism : Its Resilience and Undoing Paperback / softback
Edited by Stephanie Ann Houghton, Jeremie Bouchard
Part of the Intercultural Communication and Language Education series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book explores native-speakerism in modern language teaching, and examines the ways in which it has been both resilient and critiqued.
It provides a range of conceptual tools to situate ideological discourses and processes within educational contexts.
In turn, it discusses the interdiscursive nature of ideologies and the complex ways in which ideologies influence objective and material realities, including hiring practices and, more broadly speaking, unequal distributions of power and resources.
In closing, it considers why the diffusion and consumption of ideological discourses seem to persist, despite ongoing critical engagement by researchers and practitioners, and proposes alternative paradigms aimed at overcoming the problems posed by the native-speaker model in foreign language education.
