Critical Applied Linguistics

Critical Applied Linguistics is an approach that examines language study and teaching within the larger context of societal power, inequality, and social justice. It explores how language influences and reflects social issues, such as race, class, and identity, aiming to make language practices more equitable. By critically analyzing language use, policies, and education, it seeks to empower marginalized groups and promote social change, ensuring that language learning and teaching contribute to a fairer and more inclusive society.
