Factors That Impact Efl Acquisition In Cape Verde, William Patrick Rezende Moreno
Master’s Theses and Projects

Like Freire, the authors believe that pedagogy must be critical -- that it must examine the assumptions that teachers and students bring to any educational enterprise, that it must take into account the contexts of learners' lives, and that it must question, rather than quietly accept, existing practices. …
