Exploring Teachers’ Pedagogical Choices in Using Textbooks to Teach English

Curricular Reform and Minority Textbook Writers’ Agency in Mauritius

This book explores the pedagogical choices made by Mauritian English teachers when using government endorsed textbooks conceptualised, designed and written by teacher educators who are also textbook writers.

This book explores the pedagogical choices made by Mauritian English teachers when using government endorsed textbooks conceptualised, designed and written by teacher educators who are also textbook writers. In 2016, a major curriculum reform, the Nine-Year Basic Education, led to the pioneering decision to entrust to the Mauritius Institute of Education, the only teacher education institution in Mauritius, the task of conceptualizing, designing, and writing the National Curriculum Framework, the Teaching and Learning syllabi and textbooks. Reporting on the pedagogical choices and practices of English teachers when using the new textbooks, the authors bring in a theoretical dimension to understanding the perceptions and attitudes of teachers using textbooks to teach English in a relatively contained, under-examined, and developing post-colonial context as well as contributing to the literature on minority textbook writers’ cognition and agency. This book will be of interest to scholars, curriculum designers, textbook writers, teachers, and teacher educators involved in English language teaching, as well as students.
