Teaching English for Reconciliation

Pursuing Peace through Transformed Relationships in Language Learning and Teaching

Jan Edwards Dormer and Cheryl Woelk

Create Space in an English Class for Reconciliation.

How can an English class become a transformative space for both teachers and learners? When the teacher intentionally uses strategies and builds skills for peacebuilding and reconciliation, the classroom can be a place where relationships and communication transform people. This text encourages those engaged in the teaching of English as a second or foreign language to first consider why we might strive to teach English for reconciliation, and then addresses the contexts, individuals, and resources which are involved.

Endorsements

This is a refreshing work that encompasses the possibilities of English Language Teaching to open doors that lead to true reconciliation and peacebuilding in the current landscape of hostility that is all too familiar to us in our current day.

Laura Jacobeditor

Dormer and Woelk’s well-informed, yet highly readable and practical book is an excellent introduction for any language teacher who wishes to help language learners discover how to interact more harmoniously with people from other groups and cultures, and even themselves become peacebuilders and agents of reconciliation. For Christians this book is particularly valuable as a guide to how the Christian peacemaking mandate can be incarnated and lived out in English language classrooms.
