Critical Pedagogy in English Language Teaching (ELT)

Main Article Content

Pat Watanasin

Abstract

Paulo Freire's work is particularly associated with critical pedagogy. It is a method of teaching that encourages students to develop a critical understanding of the relationship between why and how English is learned in a political context, as well as to challenge and address social injustice. Moreover, critical pedagogy empowers students to consider and alter attitudes and practices that disadvantage them as English language learners. In addition to reflective practices, the implications of critical pedagogy for teachers differ from classroom to classroom. Teachers must therefore think about what they can do in the area of ELT that is inextricably linked to politics and power.
