المراجعة التحريرية | For those who are interested in a book that looks at how to redesign a curriculum to include more social theory in the classroom, this would be a good book to begin with the tone of the book is scholarly but very accessible, allowing teachers who have not had intense training in curriculum planning or social theory to be able to use this book in addition to those who have. Overall, this book is helpful for those who wish to approach their classroom with an innovative way to teach their students as well as move towards a more student-centered classroom. It is not only for foreign/second language classrooms, which adds to its appeal for those teachers who do not only teach English language learners. It could be said that this book would be an extremely useful starting point for teachers, as it provides excellent foundational knowledge that any teacher could benefit from. -- Allison Sigler, The Ohio State University, USA |
