Because of its focus on mutual understanding, the language classroom is uniquely situated to discuss and enact ideas about social justice. This book brings together authors from different geographical and professional contexts united by a common goal: to bring about a change in language teacher education and language classrooms. The chapters represent the perspectives of authors at a range of stages in their careers; together they take the reader on a journey from conceptual dilemmas and their place in applied linguistics, through specific critical issues which are positioned within the theoretical landscape surrounding social justice, to projects with clear pedagogical implications. The book represents a much-needed step in broadening the conversation about social justice in and through language education, and will be of interest to language teachers and researchers as well as students of applied linguistics.

This important volume illuminates the power of socially conscious and transformative language education, clearly advancing the field. As we continue on the path of reshaping the field, educators, researchers, and students alike will find the contributions within invaluable for inspiration, reflection, and perhaps most importantly, implementation of the critical work we should be embracing to impact our world. Biel and Esleben have offered us a major step forward in that journey. * Terry A. Osborn, University of South Florida, USA * In this remarkable new contribution to critical language education scholarship, Biel and Esleben skillfully bridge the conceptual and practical aspects of social justice language education. The chapters in this thoughtfully edited volume offer fresh insights into the why, what, and how of critical language education, making it an essential resource for scholars and practitioners alike. * Beth Wassell, Rowan University, USA * This fascinating collection is a journey of action, for action, and is inspired by commitment to take action through centring social justice in language education. It threads together much-needed connections, creating an expansive vision for socially just arrangements in education, with provocations, debates, concrete examples, and pointers towards a future of goodnesss and activism. * Khawla Badwan, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK *
