In the context of Black Lives Matter, decolonizing initiatives,
#MeToo, climate emergency protests and other movements for social
and environmental justice, this volume posits a simple question:
how can modern languages be taught so that they challenge rather
than reinforce social inequalities? Informed by interdisciplinary
theories, Critical Pedagogies for Modern Language Education focuses
on practical discussions of case studies in areas directly relevant
to the classroom contexts of modern languages educators. The volume
transforms modern language educators and the modern language
profession by putting the politics of language teaching at the
centre of its analysis. With case studies covering 12 languages
(Modern Standard Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Levantine,
Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tamazight) across
14 countries and regions (Austria, Brazil, China, France, Italy,
Kenya, the Levant, Morocco, the Netherlands, Palestine, Spain,
Sweden, the UK, and the USA), the contributors cover a wide range
of theories, including critical discourse analysis, activist
pedagogies, culturally sustaining pedagogy, linguistic justice and
translanguaging. With student-teacher collaboration at its heart,
critical modern languages pedagogy unmasks the ideologies and
hegemonies that lie behind mainstream language use and affirms the
value of minority linguistic and cultural practices. The volume
thus provides transformative approaches to modern languages
teaching and learning that respond to the key social concerns of
the 21st century.
