This handbook serves as a comprehensive resource on English language education in the Philippines, addressing a wide range of issues including ideologies, multilingualism, identities, policies, methodologies, assessment, teacher education, and curriculum.
Chapters cover a range of educational contexts—from Luzon to Mindanao islands, from basic to higher education, and from formal to non-formal schooling. This book upholds the think and do otherwise perspective by problematizing contemporary paradigms and practices that operate from naturalized ideas inherited from the American colonizers. This includes repairing pedagogies that redress injustices experienced by historically marginalized groups and hoping for possibilities and approaches to teaching and learning English that are just, equitable, and inclusive. The six sections in the Handbook bring up conditions for thinking and doing otherwise, pointing to ways in which genuine changes can start to happen. Scholars from diverse backgrounds come together in this handbook to take collective ownership of English language education in the Philippines. This ownership does not mean ignoring and disposing of the country’s colonial past but reclaiming English language education as an ongoing project instead. This handbook likewise demonstrates that such a project makes it possible for wider audiences to see that Global South scholars from and in the Philippines also have much to teach the rest of the world about thinking and doing otherwise and, by extension, problematizing, repairing, and hoping.
Given its scope and breadth, the handbook is an invaluable reference for students, pre-service and in-service teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and policymakers interested in English language, language education, TESOL, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics.
