Teaching World Languages for Social Justice: A Sourcebook of Principles and Practices offers principles based on theory, and innovative concepts, approaches, and practices illustrated through concrete examples, for promoting social justice and developing a critical praxis in foreign language classrooms in the U.S. and in wider world language communities. For educators seeking to translate these ideals into classroom practice in an environment dominated by the current standards movement and accountability measures, the critical insights on language education offered in this text will be widely welcomed. The text is designed as a sourcebook for translating theory into practice. Each chapter includes the theoretical base, guidelines for practice, discussion of the relationship to existing practices in the world language classroom, suggestions for activity development (which can be integrated into a professional portfolio), illustrative examples, questions for reflection, and additional suggested readings. Teaching World Languages for Social Justice is a primary or supplementary text for second and foreign language teaching methods courses and is equally appropriate for graduate courses in language education or educational studies.

Accessible and cutting-edge, this text is a pivotal update to the field and offers a much-needed critical perspective on world language education. Building off their classic 2002 book, The Foreign Language Educator in Society, Timothy G. Reagan and Terry A. Osborn address major issues facing the world language educator today, including language myths, advocacy, the perceived and real benefits of language learning, linguistic human rights, constructivism, learning theories, language standards, monolingualism, bilingualism and multiculturalism. Organized into three parts – "Knowing Language," "Learning Language," and "Teaching Language" – this book applies a critical take on conventional wisdom on language education, evaluates social and political realities, assumptions, and controversies in the field. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and discussion to support students and educators in developing their own perspectives on teaching and learning languages. With a critical pedagogy and social justice lens, this book is ideal for scholars and students in foreign/world language education, social justice education, and language teaching methodology courses, as well as pre- and in-service teachers.

This edited book expands the current scholarship on teaching world languages for social justice and equity in K-12 and postsecondary contexts in the US. Over the past decade, demand has been growing for a more critical approach to teaching languages and cultures: in response, this volume brings together a group of scholars whose work bridges the fields of world language education and critical approaches to education. Within the current US context, the chapters address the following key questions: (1) How are pre-service or in-service world language teachers/professors embedding issues, understandings, or content related to social justice, human rights, access, critical pedagogy and equity into their teaching and curriculum? (2) How are teacher educators preparing language teachers to teach for social justice, human rights, access and equity?

How We Take Action brings together practical examples of social justice in language education from a wide range of contexts. Many language teachers have a desire to teach in justice-oriented ways, but perhaps also feel frustration at how hard it is to teach in ways that we did not experience ourselves as learners and have not observed as colleagues. As a profession, we need more ideas, more examples, and wider networks of allies in this work. This book includes the work of 59 different authors including teachers and researchers at every level from Pre-K to postsecondary, representing different backgrounds, languages, and approaches to classroom practice. Organized into three sections, some of the chapters in this collection report on classroom research while others focus on key practices and experiences. Section I is entitled Inclusive and Empowering Classrooms. In this section authors take a critical approach to classroom practices by breaking with the status quo or creating spaces where students experience safety, access, and empowerment in language learning experiences. Section II, Integration of Critical Topics, addresses a variety of ways teachers can incorporate justice-oriented pedagogies in day-to-day instructional experiences. Social justice does not happen haphazardly; it requires careful, critical examination of instructional practices and intentional planning as instructors hope to enact change. Section III, Activism and Community Engagement, explores how teachers can empower students to become agents for positive change through the study of activism and constructive community engagement programs at local and global levels. ENDORSEMENTS: "This volume brings an important diversity of voices, contexts, and collaborations to the ongoing conversations about social justice in language education. University experts in social justice in language education and nationally celebrated K-12 language teachers are included along with experienced practitioners whose voices are often not prioritized in scholarship. The volume serves as an invitation to the reader to engage, reflect, consider, and examine different approaches to teaching for social justice. Chapters bring in feminist pedagogies, critical pedagogies, LGBTQ affirming pedagogies, anti-bias and anti-racist approaches, decolonial lenses, critical media literacies, and more Everyone who picks up this volume will find at least one piece that immediately resonates with them, and then will be inevitably drawn in to the other engaging and thoughtful chapters." — Pamela M. Wesely, The University of Iowa "This book is a must-read for those interested in social justice in language education. The range of authors, topics, languages, institutional contexts, and pedagogies is staggeringly impressive and will provide any reader with ideas and inspiration for taking action in and out of the language classroom." — Kate Paesani, University of Minnesota "This excellent volume, replete with thoroughly researched strategies for promoting social justice in PK-16 world language instruction, could not have come at a more critical time in the United States when anti-democratic forces are mobilizing against equity and justice-oriented education. We in the field of language education are very fortunate to have this collection of work from more than 50 language learning scholars and practitioners, who remind us that making our classrooms more equitable, inclusive, and grounded in justice is part of doing our jobs more effectively. What’s more, the volume clearly demonstrates its prioritization for inclusivity by providing robust support for those who teach young learners at the pre-kindergarten through grade 3 levels—a population woefully underrepresented in language teaching literature—and for topics that have been unjustly ignored in language education, such as racism, sexism, and the needs of LGBTQIA learners. This is a clear demonstration of the volume’s uniqueness in its vast breadth of scope and attention, which is the book’s most valuable feature and why it will serve our field wonderfully for many years to come." — Uju Anya, Carnegie Mellon University

Recent events around the world have led to renewed calls for World Language (WL) education to adopt a more overtly social justice-orientation (Osborn, 2006; Reagan & Osborn, 2020; Glynn & Wassell, 2022). For this to occur, teachers themselves must gain awareness of how social justice can be addressed within -- and perhaps necessarily is implicated by -- WL education practices. The present paper reports results of a study in which social justice was introduced into a WL ED teacher preparation program at a large U. S. university. The study was organized according to principles of Vygotsky's (2012) Sociocultural Theory (SCT). As an account of the development of human consciousness, SCT emphasizes the centrality of mediation, that is, the interposing of signs in human activity that come to be used as resources for regulating psychological actions, including reasoning, planning, and reflecting. Two features of SCT that were especially relevant to the design of this study are the use of abstract concepts as tools for thinking and the importance of an individual's history of lived experiences for understanding how they will engage with and respond to social environments (Karabanova, 2010; Veresov, 2017). Following these ideas, two forms of mediation were introduced to promote student teachers' understanding of a social justice orientation to WL education. Material mediation (e.g., course readings, lectures, PowerPoint slides, etc.) illuminated how current approaches to language teaching are complicit in perpetuating social injustices and prompted critical examination of the meaning of "world" in WLs. Material mediation was enhanced by dialogic mediation (e.g., instructional interactions involving reading responses and reflections) in which the instructor drew upon the student teachers' personal narratives of their lived experiences to create connections with social justice topics. This study adopts a case study approach and analyzes these mediational processes by focusing on the experiences of three student teachers of WLs. Thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2012) of student teachers' multimodal narratives (e.g., personal journal, Discussion Board post, in-class sharing), engagement with mediation, and resultant learning artifacts (lesson plan, lesson reflection) reveal that they demonstrated agency to conceptualize their personal histories and lived experiences into pedagogical ideas and managed to bring these into their teaching practices. Implications for structuring a social justice-oriented teaching methods course and theorizing how narrative-informed mediation may leverage an individual's subjectivity to support development of a social justice orientation to WL education are discussed.

The principles for enabling children to become fully proficient multilinguals through schooling are well known. Even so, most indigenous/tribal, minority and marginalised children are not provided with appropriate mother-tongue-based multilingual education (MLE) that would enable them to succeed in school and society. In this book experts from around the world ask why this is, and show how it can be done. The book discusses general principles and challenges in depth and presents case studies from Canada and the USA, northern Europe, Peru, Africa, India, Nepal and elsewhere in Asia. Analysis by leading scholars in the field shows the importance of building on local experience. Sharing local solutions globally can lead to better theory, and to action for more social justice and equality through education.
