Review: Lillie Padilla & Rosti Vana (Eds.) (2024). Representation, Inclusion and Social Justice in World Language Teaching: Research and Pedagogy for Inclusive Classrooms

Scholars in World Language continue to underscore a critical need to center social justice in all language classrooms. Despite the extensive data illustrating this need, relatively limited resources assist instructors in implementing social justice-oriented initiatives in their classrooms. Representation, Inclusion and Social Justice in World Language Teaching: Research and Pedagogy for Inclusive Classrooms, edited by Lillie Padilla and Rosti Vana, fills this gap by serving as a comprehensive resource offering both theoretical and practical suggestions for individuals wishing to promote equity in their language learning spaces. The thirteen chapters offer stakeholders working in language departments or dual language programs perspectives that can be implemented in language classrooms, teacher preparation programs, and at the department level.
