Difficulties Engaging in Critical Dialog

The following eight posts are comprised of quotes from students in our Critical Pedagogies course this semester.  Each post expresses a concern or a problem with implementing a "critical" approach to English language teaching in a specific context.  We spent class this week discussing these "limit-situations" and trying to create "limit-acts" to confront these barriers.  In the comment section of each post you can read student responses to these problems.  They may not solve all our diffiulties but I think they can offer some great food for thought.
