"Teaching Language as Action in the ELA Classroom fosters growth of both students and teachers through a languaging as action approach and philosophy. The strategies and descriptions of many classroom activities provided throughout the text are practical and easily transferable to the classroom context. At the heart of every chapter is how we should value every individual’s experience and voice—teachers and students alike."
