Angela Kleiman and the Social Practices of Language
Keywords:
Angela Kleiman, Applied Linguistics, literacy, educational practice, critical approachesAbstract
Angela B. Kleiman’s academic work occupies a prominent place in language studies in Brazil, especially in the areas of literacy as social practices of reading and writing, teacher training, and mother tongue education. An essential reference in the fields of Applied Linguistics and Education, the researcher has significantly contributed to shifting the focus of traditional discussions centered on technical and normative literacy, proposing a broader and more critical understanding of literacy practices as social, cultural, and historical phenomena.
