Walking Critical Pedagogy – Reimagining English Language Education

Teaching is not a destination but a journey shaped through reflection, experience, and continuous learning. Inspired by the philosophy of We Make the Road by Walking, this book explores how English language teachers navigate the possibilities and challenges of embracing critical pedagogy in their classrooms. Through authentic teacher experiences, classroom narratives, and reflective discussions, the book highlights both the opportunities and tensions of implementing critical pedagogy in English language teaching. Rather than promoting a single approach, it presents diverse perspectives—including those of teachers who question or reject critical pedagogy—encouraging readers to critically examine their own beliefs, teaching practices, and professional identities. Enriched with AI-assisted semi-fictional narratives based on real teacher voices, the book offers an engaging and thought-provoking reading experience that bridges research with storytelling.
