"Alternative Perspectives to English Teaching in Bilingual Contexts" is a scholarly book that addresses the challenges of teaching English in bilingual contexts, particularly in many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Despite numerous reforms and political efforts, inadequate performance in English as a Second Language (ESL) remains a pressing issue. The book examines the teaching methods used in these regions and identifies them as one of the main reasons for students' low performance. Through studies from Zimbabwe, it demonstrates how teachers can develop alternative perspectives in ESL instruction to meet the specific language needs of their learners. It calls for the application of explicit teaching methods to enhance linguistic competence and grammatical accuracy at all levels. This book serves as a valuable companion for teachers and learners by leveraging their experiences to find ways to reform teaching through reflective pedagogy.
