Each section opens with a research overview drawing on disciplines that inform language teaching, including practitioner research, creative arts and educational theory.  These are joined by case studies from language teachers working worldwide in multiple sectors, public and private, with young learners and adults, asylum-seekers and learners in their own homes.  The case studies illustrate how fundamental concepts can translate into practice and make a difference for real learners and teachers. A reflective summary for each section draws out the common threads between theory and practice, signposting future directions. \u003cbr\u003eTapping into current networks and creative initiatives, including in places of conflict and across social classes and cultures, this book builds a virtuous circle between language pedagogy and creative practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eJane Spiro is Professor of Language learning and teaching in the school of education at Oxford Brookes University, UK\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e02 September 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350561540\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e464\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944903082124,"sku":"9781350561540","price":171.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781350561540","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
