Diversity in Language Teaching: A select bibliography:

A bibliography on diversity in TESOL and Modern Languages.

Introduction

This list includes books and videos on diversity issues facing language teachers and students both within the US and abroad. Although, I could also include materials selected for Modern Languages that are written in other languages (such as Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese. Japanese, etc.) to show the diversity of languages taught and spoken here at APU, I decided against this since it would take up many pages. Some keywords I used in selecting these materials include minority, diversity, social justice, international, international student, identity, abroad, foreign, color, race, intercultural, advocacy, global, African American, Native American, Chicano/a, Asian American, language revitalization, indigenous languages, language death, sociocultural, ethnic, cultures, world englishes, endangered languages, minority languages, bilingualism, multilingualism, heritage languages, linguistic diversity, cultural, sociolinguistics, global englishes, international English, EIL, ebonics, urban education, ethnolinguistic, stereotyping, power, cultural politics, inequality, language planning, inclusive pedagogy, etc.
