    The Critical Space Between: Weaving Freirean and Sociocultural Pedagogies
    (Routledge, 2022) Sherman, Brandon J.; Teemant, Annela
    Freirean critical pedagogy and sociocultural theories of learning have been found to resonate in certain ways while remaining distinct bodies of theory. Sherman and Teemant argue that these theories of learning, considered in tandem, have implications for the practice and pedagogy of language and literacy instruction for emergent bilinguals. In this chapter, we read sociocultural principles of pedagogy through Freirean principles of critical pedagogy using illustrations drawn from teacher practice. In this way, we draw valuable connections between how teachers translate Freirean perspectives into living educational practice.
