This comprehensive book presents Critical Language Awareness (CLA) Pedagogy as a powerful and evidence-based approach to engage and empower students in critical examinations of language, identity, privilege, and power. It begins with an accessible introduction to CLA, delving into key topics such as World Englishes, linguistic prejudice, news media literacy, inclusive language practices, and more, in an engaging and thought-provoking manner to foster reflection and analysis. Part I provides an overview of the foundations of CLA pedagogy, while Part II showcases four instructional pathways for CLA pedagogy: Sociolinguistics, Critical Academic Literacies, Media/Discourse Analysis, and Communicating Across Difference. Each pathways chapter is structured around Essential Questions and Transferrable Skills, and includes three thematic learning sequences. Part III offers practical tools and guidance for tailoring CLA pedagogy to the readers' teaching context and to students' individual needs.

The book's wealth of resources and activities serve as a pedagogical toolkit for embracing linguistic diversity in the classroom. The cohesive framework, concrete strategies, engaging activities, and guiding questions in this volume enable readers to gain a deeper understanding of CLA and develop a clear roadmap for implementing CLA pedagogy in their teaching. Drawing from relevant research in educational linguistics and writing studies, this book is an invaluable resource for courses in English/literacy education, college composition, L2 writing instruction, and educational linguistics.
