Book Description
This book attempts to clarify the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin and discusses the application of these concepts to the new times in which we live. Book chapters examine such important questions as: What resources do students bring from their home/community environments that help them become literate in school? What knowledge do teachers need in order to meet the literacy needs of varied students? How can teacher educators and professional development programs better understand teachers' needs and help them to become better prepared to teach diverse literacy learners? What challenges lie ahead for literacy learners in the coming century? Chapters are contributed by authors who write from various disciplinary perspectives. In addition, other voices enter into a Bakhtinian dialogue with these authors about their ideas. Together, they address questions that readers may have about Bakhtinian theory and its application to the every day practices of teachers.
