Biography / Academic Interests
:
Professor Benesch's field is applied linguistics, the application of linguistic theory to pedagogical problems, such as teaching English to non-native speakers. Her sub-speciality is English for academic purposes, the preparation of English language learners for the demands of college literacy. Professor Benesch’s interest in critical pedagogy led her 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.
Professor Benesch has been ESL Coordinator in the CSI English department since 1987.
