A range of experts argue persuasively for epistemological reflexivity in practice and demonstrate how to implement this critical thinking into daily instructional practice. Each chapter is structured around three themes in order to help readers connect challenging theoretical ideas into day to day teaching practice: Reflection - the author's story and issue of concern; Epistemic Reflexivity - personal epistemologies reflecting on the social conditions influencing the theory underpinning that author's practices; Resolved action - how the epistemic reflexivity leads to purposeful decision-making enacted in classroom contexts.
Original, thoughtful and challenging, this text is fascinating and instructional reading for language education advanced students, researchers and practitioners.
The idea for this book emerged during the Fulbright scholarship at Texas Woman's University out of the mutual research interests of the editors.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
