Biography / Academic Interests
:
My field is applied linguistics, the application of linguistic theory to pedagogical problems, such as teaching English to non-native speakers. My sub-speciality is English for academic purposes, the preparation of English language learners for the demands of college literacy. My interest in critical pedagogy led me to propose "critical English for academic purposes", to posit a more visible and active role for English language learners in responding to and shaping academic life. I have been ESL Coordinator in the CSI English department since 1987.
