Dr. Crookes’s main research and teaching interests at present are critical language pedagogy and language teachers developing philosophies of teaching. Very recently he has begun exploring the role of dialogue in professional development. More generally, he remains broadly interested in the methodology of second language teaching and teacher development. In recent semesters his teaching has included material on emotion and motivation in second language teaching and learning, as well as a survey of alternatives in L2 pedagogy. Besides teaching regular graduate and undergraduate courses for the Department of SLS, he has conducted courses and workshops for teachers especially on teaching methodology, action research, and critical pedagogy, in a variety of settings around the world, including Colombia, Denmark, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Singapore, and Vietnam.
