This engaging volume on English as an Additional Language (EAL), argues persuasively for the importance of critical participatory pedagogies that embrace multilingualism and multimodality in the field of TESOL. It highlights the role of the TESOL profession in teaching for social justice and advocacy and explores how critical participatory pedagogies translate into English language teaching and teacher education around the world.

Bringing together diverse scholars in the field and practicing English language teachers, editors Polina Vinogradova and Joan Kang Shin present 10 thematically organized units that demonstrate that language teaching pedagogy must be embedded in the larger sociocultural contexts of teaching and learning to be successful. Each unit covers one pedagogical approach and includes three case studies to illustrate how English language teachers across the world implement these approaches in their classrooms. The chapters are supplemented by discussion questions and a range of practical sources for further exploration. Addressing established and emerging areas of TESOL, topics covered include:

• Critical and postmethod pedagogies
• Translingualism
• Digital literacy and multiliteracies
• Culturally responsive pedagogy
• Advocacy

Featuring educators implementing innovative approaches in primary, secondary, and tertiary contexts across borders, Contemporary Foundations for Teaching English as an Additional Language is an ideal text for methods and foundational courses in TESOL and will appeal to in-service and preservice English language teachers as well as students and teacher educators in TESOL and applied linguistics.

Reviews

Polina Vinogradova and Joan Kang Shin have assembled an impressively diverse group of scholars and professionals at the forefront of TESOL research and practice, and produced an amazingly critical and innovative volume on the teaching of English as an additional language in the 21st century. It covers critical and culturally responsive pedagogies, translingualism, technology and digital literacy, and much more. It is a rewarding read, and should inspire future researchers and practitioners in language education for decades to come.

This book masterfully illuminates teachers' imperative to embrace multilingualism and multimodality while they learn to teach English for social justice and advocacy across the globe. Critical participatory pedagogies have never been so compellingly theorized and so diversely exemplified. An indispensable tool for those committed to advancing TESOL teacher development in the 21st century!

A timely publication - the 'normal' classroom today, which includes the English language classroom, has become a microcosm of our diverse societies. This book questions the tenets of traditional TESOL, and through the use of case studies, offers teachers more inclusive, alternative perspectives...moving TESOL into the 21st century!

Contemporary Foundations is quite a timely publication in the post-method period of TESOL pedagogy. It presents critical concepts for successful teaching in the larger socio-cultural and trans-linguistic global contexts and provides practical application cases. This resource will be of particular value to English teachers/ teacher educators in Korea, where classroom dynamics are rapidly changing to include students from multicultural families.
