New Paper in AILA Review

If you’re passionate about inclusive and transformative teaching, this post is for you!

In 2023, Erika Coachman and I published an article in AILA Review titled “Addressing Race in English Language Teaching.” Our research, conducted at a public school in Rio de Janeiro, explored didactic materials featuring diverse literary voices — from Shakespeare to Mũkoma wa Ngũgĩ and Otávio Júnior.

We found that these materials foster meaningful classroom conversations, helping students see language learning as a powerful tool for citizenship.
