Abstract

[Critical Pedagogy (CP) is interpreted differently and its applications are used with varying degrees of intensity in different disciplines and various parts of the world. The application of CP in most disciplinary and geographic locations is also fraught with challenges which are home-grown and foreign. The field of English Language Teaching- English as a Second / Foreign Language (ESL / EFL), is one discipline where challenges to implementation of CP are quite pronounced. In this chapter the author draws on Sri Lanka as a specific example to explore the practices of and challenges to implementing CP in the teaching English as a Second Language in the region and resolves a way forward.]
