Critical Language Pedagogy Interrogating Language, Dialects, and Power in Teacher Education

"Amanda J. Godley and Jeffrey Reaser have not only developed a wonderful, sociolinguisically informed resource for teachers in their Critical Language Pedagogy (CLP) curriculum, but they have field-tested it with 301 teachers from a variety of racial and regional backgrounds. The feedback they report in this book will be invaluable in refining CLP for future iterations, and for helping teachers and researchers who want to attempt similar lesson plans on their own. This highly innovative book fulfills a real need for those working at the nexus of linguistics and education." -John R. Rickford, Professor of Linguistics and the Humanities at Stanford University, Past President of the Linguistic Society of America, and Co-author of the Award-winning Spoken Soul: The Story of Black English
