“We’ve come a long way”— declared Brown (1991, p. 257) as he concluded his essay for the 25th anniversary issue of TESOL Quarterly. He was actually referring to the progress the TESOL profession was making during the 1970s and 80s in achieving desired goals such as shifting its focus from product-oriented teaching to process-oriented teaching, and from a rigid curriculum to a more flexible one. Even those modest shifts, according to him, had created a new state of awareness in the profession. Considering the more significant trend-setting shifts that have marked the 1990s, we can claim with some justification that we have now reached a much higher level of awareness. We might even say, with a good measure of poetic license, that we have moved from a state of awareness toward a state of awakening.”

Which of the following statements could NOT be considered a shift from awareness to awakening?

We have awakened to the multiplicity of learner identities and the complexity of teacher beliefs.

We have been awakened to the necessity of making methods-based pedagogies more sensitive to local exigencies.

We have been awakened to shift our focus from productbased teaching practice to a process-based one, in which our curriculum is more flexible.

We have been awakened to the opportunity afforded by postmethod pedagogies to help practicing teachers develop their own theory of practice.

We have been awakened to the vitality of macrostructures—social, cultural, political, and historical—that shape and reshape the microstructures of our pedagogic enterprise.
