ABSTRACT

In this final chapter I first gather together what seem to me to constitute the most important moral dilemmas (what Edge, 1996a, called “paradoxes”) in English Language Teaching (ELT). I then consider the matter of moral foundations, given my repeated emphasis on the ambiguities, polyvalence, and the complexity of values and moral decision making. Finally, I revisit the teacher-student relation, the kernel of moral life in classrooms.
