This unit is designed for practicing teachers, and focuses on internal and external social factors which influence both curriculum and classroom practice. The focus of the unit moves from consideration of individuals in a teaching–learning context, to the classroom as a site of learning and generation of a unique discourse, and then to the influence and impact of broader social and political concerns on TESOL curriculum and on all participants in the process. Factors that bring about and impede change are examined and their impact evaluated across a spectrum of learning environments. -- Course Website
