Using the diagnostic criteria for Antisocial Personality Disorder as a rhetorical device, this book examines major issues with the ideologies and institutions behind the discipline of ELT and diagnoses the industry as in dire need of treatment, with the solution being a full decentering of whiteness. A vision for a more just version of ELT is offered as an alternative to the harm caused by its present-day incarnation. With a unique linkage of discourse on whiteness, language and ability, this book will be necessary reading for students, academics and administrators involved in ELT around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriting in a forceful but engaging style that is just as often memoir as it is polemic, Gerald pulls no punches and joins a growing and increasingly assertive community of critical scholars who are challenging the very foundations on which the ‘teaching of standardized English’ is constructed. This makes for compelling, even if (for some of us) unsettling, reading. * Scott Thornbury, formerly at The New School, New York, USA *\u003cbr\u003eBrimming with insights from research, practice, and personal experience, Gerald makes a passionate case for demolishing the status quo in English language teaching. In witty and refreshingly candid prose, he integrates critical perspectives on racism and disability justice to imagine a different system – one that is more prosocial, inclusive, and above all else, honest. * Neda Maghbouleh, University of Toronto, Canada *\u003cbr\u003eCombining key insights from critical race theory and disability studies, JPB Gerald provides a stunning overview of how racial ideologies shape language teaching in ways that consistently privilege whiteness. Weaving personal narratives with astute theoretical insights, Gerald provides a guide for creating a more just system of language learning. * Victor Ray, University of Iowa, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrologue\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePart One: Disorder\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Great Pyramid Scheme\u003cbr\u003e Justified\u003cbr\u003e A Dark Projection\u003cbr\u003e Dis\/abling Blackness\u003cbr\u003e Ability, Intelligence and Language\u003cbr\u003e Bad at English\u003cbr\u003e Language Teaching as an Instrument of Pathologization\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePart Two: Symptoms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Criterion 1\u003cbr\u003e Criterion 2\u003cbr\u003e Criterion 3\u003cbr\u003e Criterion 4\u003cbr\u003e Criterion 5\u003cbr\u003e Criterion 6\u003cbr\u003e Criterion 7\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePart Three: Treatment...?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Ezel Project\u003cbr\u003e Prosocial Language Teaching\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e References\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Multilingual Matters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042714288471,"sku":"9781800413276","price":71.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781800413276.jpg?v=1750955311","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/antisocial-language-teaching-english-and-the-pervasive-pathology-of-whiteness-9781800413276","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
