Activism in Language Teaching and Language Teacher Education

Exploring the confluence of activism and language education, this open access volume offers innovative practical and theoretical perspectives for thinking about and promoting activism within the contexts of language teaching and language teacher education.

Chapters detail the unique experiences of language education professionals' innovative efforts to emphasise and embed activism and social justice in teacher education and language classrooms around the globe. Authors offer a range of practices and examples of developing activist stances, providing insights that may stimulate professional growth and curricular changes as a next natural step in pursuing equitable educational outcomes for language learners. Collectively, chapters provide important insights into how language teachers and language teacher educators frame and engage in activism as part of their work shaping an equitable and socially just educational landscape.

Readers will find that the book may serve as a catalyst for action and reflection on how language teachers, teacher educators, and scholars, can develop and sustain activist efforts to reimagine education for multilingual learners.
