Reviews

This edited volume urges us to engage with the liberatory and transformative potential of languages education and to actively reimagine our practice from critical, social justice and decolonizing perspectives. The carefully curated collection of chapters is underpinned by a diverse range of theoretical and conceptual frameworks as well as practical, polyphonic examples of classroom practice across sectors and geographical contexts. This compelling volume is essential reading for pre- and in-service language teachers and teacher trainers as well as researchers passionate about the enactment of critical language pedagogies. -- Adriana Diaz, Senior Lecturer in the School of Languages and Cultures, University of Queensland, Australia A forceful and passionate plea for incorporating politics into the language classroom. Fascinating case studies examine the teaching of 12 languages across 14 countries and discuss a range of current issues related to critical pedagogies and decolonization efforts in education. Should be of vital interest to any teacher of modern languages. -- Claire Kramsch, Emerita Professor of German and Affilate Professor of Education, University of California, Berkeley, USA
