However, most teacher education activities are often associated with what is perceived as best practices that are expected to be adopted\u003cbr\u003e(often uncritically) for classroom application and practice, with the intention of training teachers to become technicians in their respective classrooms. In reality, TESOL practitioners often find themselves\u003cbr\u003ein situations that require them to be reflexive practitioners and to negotiate sites of political struggles and social injustice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiven that a socially situated understanding of TESOL teacher education is often overlooked, this volume highlights the sociopolitical dimensions of TESOL teacher education. In Part 1, the authors introduce the theoretical underpinnings of the sociopolitical agenda proposed by this volume. Building on these theories, Part 2 realizes the proposed agenda by situating it within actual TESOL teacher education contexts that are characterized by power imbalances and neoliberally inflected educational injustices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter de Costa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350262889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350262881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Peter de Costa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202858205439,"sku":"9781350262881","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d4658db8-3ad4-41ad-96b2-77c88e915000.jpg?v=1756833619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-sociopolitical-agenda-for-tesol-peter-de-costa-9781350262881","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
