Critical Language Pedagogy: Interrogating Language, Dialects, and Power in Teacher Education demonstrates how critical approaches to language and dialects are an essential part of social justice work in literacy education. The text details the largest and most comprehensive study ever conducted on teachers’ language beliefs and learning about dialects, power, and identity. It describes the experiences of over 300 pre- and in-service teachers from across the United States who participated in a course on how to enact Critical Language Pedagogy in their English classrooms. Through detailed analyses and descriptions, the authors demonstrate how the course changed teachers’ beliefs about language, literacy, and their students. The book also presents information about the effectiveness of the mini-course, variations in the responses of teachers from different regions of the United States, and the varying language beliefs of teachers of color and White teachers. The authors present the entire mini-course so that readers can incorporate it into their own classes, making the book practical as well as informative for teachers, teacher educators, and educational researchers. Critical Language Pedagogy: Interrogating Language, Dialects, and Power in Teacher Education provides a much-needed theoretical explanation of Critical Language Pedagogy and, just as importantly, a detailed description of teacher learning and a Critical Language Pedagogy curriculum that readers can use in K-12, college, and teacher education classrooms.

"Amanda J. Godley and Jeffrey Reaser have not only developed a wonderful, sociolinguisically informed resource for teachers in their Critical Language Pedagogy (CLP) curriculum, but they have field-tested it with 301 teachers from a variety of racial and regional backgrounds. The feedback they report in this book will be invaluable in refining CLP for future iterations, and for helping teachers and researchers who want to attempt similar lesson plans on their own. This highly innovative book fulfills a real need for those working at the nexus of linguistics and education.”—John R. Rickford, Professor of Linguistics and the Humanities at Stanford University, Past President of the Linguistic Society of America, and Co-author of the Award-winning Spoken Soul: The Story of Black English
