Illegitimate Practices

Jacqueline Widin delves into the complexities of English Language Teaching (ELT) as a global commodity, scrutinizing its diverse manifestations across various cultures and educational landscapes. She presents a critical exploration of how ELT is influenced by socio-political dynamics, market forces, and cultural contexts, inviting readers to reconsider conventional practices in language education.

Through thoughtful analysis, Widin challenges the legitimacy of standardized methods that often overlook local needs and conditions. Her work advocates for a more nuanced understanding of teaching practices that honors cultural diversity while addressing the challenges posed by commodification in the field of language education.
