| Abstract
|
:
|
Can new concepts of pedagogy transform social hierarchy in Morocco? This thesis examines how new conceptions of good teaching interact with Morocco's historical mechanisms of social reproduction through education, using ethnographic and interview data collected among public secondary teachers of English and Arabic in a specific province of Morocco's Middle Atlas. Building on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of practice and its major concepts — habitus, capital and field — I argue that language and language teaching in Morocco has historically played a pivotal role in the reproduction of hierarchy and social exclusion. Beginning in the early 1980's, these mechanisms of exclusion entered a crisis of legitimacy, which was 'retranslated' as a pedagogical failure, and within the context of neoliberal ideology, into a seemingly apolitical imperative that teaching be of a certain quality, namely learner-centered.
