Abstract
* How can feminism have an impact on a predominantly positivist field like TESL/applied linguistics? How do feminist education and research relate to other epistemologies? How can feminist features be applied to ESL research? This report seeks to answer these questions by summarizing a graduate school initiation to feminism by way of courses and an English for specific purposes (ESP) curriculum evaluation completed as part of a thesis. The curriculum (Cooke & Mackie, 1993) was developed for a 1-year certificate program for ESL students consisting of the ESP class, business courses taken with English LI students, and a work placement period. In this report, I discuss (a) the feminist education I experienced and (b) feminist research both in general and in terms of the processes and outcomes of the curriculum evaluation.
