Understanding the Language Classroom
Edited by Simon Gieve and Inés K. Miller
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan

Summary: This edited volume problematizes prescription, efficiency, and technical solutions as orientations to classroom language learning. The ideas that have found most resonance in the contributors' attempts at understanding language classroom life are the inherent complexity and idiosyncrasy of classroom life, the central importance of the participants' own understandings, the relationship between classroom life and teachers' and students' lives, negotiation between teachers and learners, the relationship between the local and the global, and the 'quality' of classroom life. These themes are addressed in the contexts of language learning, adult literacy education and language teacher education.
