"In Sharing Words: Theory and Practice of Dialogic Learning, Ramón Flecha provides a unique example of the theory and practice of dialogic learning. By mixing educational and social theory with literature, life narratives, and personal accounts, Flecha creatively narrates the practice of dialogic learning in a seemingly utopian reality: a literary circle in which low-literacy adults enjoy reading books by authors like Kafka, Dostoyevsky, and García Lorca. The book highlights both theory and practice; it is both expository and narrative; and it refers as much to educational and social science works as to classical literature. In this way , Sharing Words may be an example of a new way of writing about educational theory and practice, one that results in a captivating and enjoyable experience that invites the reader to share and comment with colleagues, students, and friends." - Harvard Educational Review
