Sociological Influence of Critical and Social Pedagogy on Young Learners' English Education

Abstract

Education, by regarding the social and critical elements can be traced back to the 20^th century. Critical pedagogy was started out of the need of reforming education in a way that it would acknowledge the influence of the present social and political elements in each and every educational context. Some critical theorists applied ideas in critical theories to education in the society. In this regard, social pedagogy describes a holistic and relationship-centered way of working in care and educational settings with people across the course of their lives. In actual fact politically and socially engaged critiques of power in everyday life, communities, and institutions are exactly what are needed to develop critical and social pedagogies in language education. This paper aims to study descriptively about the sociological effect of critical and social pedagogy on young learners' English education.
