S.Ashton@shu.ac.uk Reflect ESOL is an approach to learning which aims to truly make the most of our learners’ knowledge and skills. Strongly influenced by the philosophy and pedagogy of Paulo Friere, Reflect ESOL works toward creating a liberatory and transformative classroom. Reflect ESOL actively seeks to create the conditions where genuine dialogue can take place and where learners can share their experiences, ideas and concerns as a class community. But more than this, it offers an opportunity to learn more, reflect on, critically analyse and if needed plan action for change. To achieve this, Reflect ESOL provides an ever-growing tool-kit of visualisation, role play and drama techniques. No two classes are ever the same – they are as diverse as the knowledge, experiences and feelings of the learners and teachers.
