Rooted in colonialism\, this approach is tied to a monol ingual bias in Second Language Acquisition and Language Teaching\, where t he monolingual native speaker is positioned as the goal for language learn ers. This perspective has led to a one-size-fits-all model that often over looks learners’ diverse linguistic\, cultural\, and educational background s. In contrast\, recent critical and social justice approaches prioritize students' linguistic and cultural experiences\, identities\, and the socio cultural contexts in which learning occurs. This presentation offers an ov erview of these critical approaches\, examining whether our instructional practices reinforce ideologies\, social hierarchies\, and power dynamics. It also explores classroom strategies to resist such practices\, encouragi ng student agency in language choices\, identity construction\, and langua ge activism\n DTSTART:20241003T200000Z DTEND:20241003T210000Z LOCATION:680 Sherberooke W\, room 1041 (10th floor)\, Sherbrooke 688\, CA\ , QC\, Montreal\, H3A 3R1\, 688 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Critical and Social Justice Approaches to Teaching in the World of Language Classroom URL:/langlitcultures/channels/event/critical-and-socia l-justice-approaches-teaching-world-language-classroom-359983 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
