Riassunto

Introduction to Social Foundations of Language Education: Working Towards Equity and Inclusion, authored by Ekaterina Moore and Jenifer Crawford, is a pivotal work for students in language education and TESOL programs. The book delves into the interplay between language education, social dynamics, and the principles of equity and inclusion.

Consisting of five chapters, it offers historical vignettes, knowledge activation questions, clear objectives, key terms, practical applications, and reflective tasks. Each chapter starts with a real-life narrative, poses questions to activate prior knowledge, and ends with summaries and further reading suggestions.

The book covers various topics such as understanding students' diverse backgrounds, the relationship between language learning and culture and identity, language proficiency in different contexts, the effect of ideologies on language policies and programs, and pedagogical methods that advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in TESOL.

Aimed at enabling students to participate actively in discussions, analyses, and practical applications, this book is a tool for transforming language education through a lens of social justice and inclusion. It is apt for courses in education and TESOL.
