Breaking Barriers: Inclusive ELT Through Critical Discourse Analysis and Universal Design for Learning

The eshop link to my latest publication, “Breaking Barriers” is now available for your convenience. My heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has supported me in this endeavor.

Product Info: “Breaking Barriers is a research-informed teacher development handbook that bridges inclusive theory and classroom practice. Combining the critical lens of CDA with the flexibility of UDL, Katherine Reilly offers educators practical strategies to embrace diversity, foster safe learning spaces, and empower every learner. Drawing from real classroom experiences, reflective activities, and case studies, this book redefines what inclusion means in English Language Teaching. Accessible, engaging, and deeply practical, Breaking Barriers inspires teachers to challenge bias, celebrate learner identities, and create environments where all students can thrive.”
