Märksõnad:

This book examines how neoliberalism finds expression in foreign language textbooks. Moving beyond the usual focus on English, Pau Bori explores the impact of neoliberal ideology on Catalan textbooks. By comparing Catalan textbooks to English textbooks, this book interrogates the similarities and differences between a minor and a global language in the age of neoliberalism. Drawing on insights from critical theory and critical pedagogy, this study provides a fresh perspective on foreign language textbooks and second language education more broadly. Language Textbooks in the Era of Neoliberalism paves the way for new critical perspectives in language education that will challenge the current hegemony of neoliberalism.

Arvustused

This is a sobering book to read. One of Boris aims is to awaken

awareness among the educational and academic communities about the

necessity to look critically at textbooks from a political and economic

perspective (p. 162). The book has a lot to say to materials developers, to

make us question what we are portraying and the possible consequences.
