The 14 letters making up this book engage pre-service teachers with a personable and accessible voice. Critiques of traditional methods of language arts are offered, together with fresh alternatives to curricula and evaluation.
In Rethinking Language Arts: Passion and Practice, SecondEdition, author Nina Zaragoza uses the form of letters to her students to engage pre-service teachers in reevaluating teaching practices, thus bringing to life a vision of an alternative classroom environment in which the teacher is the prime mover and creative leader. Zaragoza discusses and explains the need for teachers to be decision makers, reflective thinkers, political beings, and agents of social change in order to create a positive and inclusive classroom setting. This book is both a critical text that deconstructs the way language arts are traditionally taught in our schools as well as a visionary text with clear, no-nonsense directions on how to provide much needed change in our schools.

Nina Zaragoza is currently an English Language Teacher/ Consultant at The American Home in Vladimir, Russia.
