| Abstract: | Rather than viewing language learning as solely a cognitive process, researchers today believe that using a socio-critical perspective creates equity within the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) community. These approaches challenge traditional paradigms by examining how social structures, ideologies, and classroom practices influence learners' experiences and opportunities. The importance of integrating socio-critical frameworks into EFL research highlights the potential to foster more inclusive, reflective, and socially responsive language education. "Pioneering Socio-Critical Approaches in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Research" explores the change in traditional teaching of EFL. This book contemplates the issues and challenges with traditional teaching using real world examples. Covering topics such as classroom practice, language learning, and translanguaging, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, educators, researchers, faculty, policymakers, administrators, and more. |
