invites abstract submissions for its 2024 special issue “Reimagining Language Education through Critical Language Awareness.” Critical language awareness (CLA) is a concept originally proposed in the U.K. around 1990s to draw attention to issues around power
in language and literacy teaching and learning (e.g., Clark et al., 1990; Fairclough, 1989). With the changing landscape in language education that calls for critical perspectives in language teaching and research and in response to the recent social justice
movements across the world, CLA is regaining momentum as both a stance and a pedagogy. As a stance, CLA calls for emancipatory change in society by “empower[ing] learners by providing them with a critical analytical framework to help them reflect on their
own language experiences and practices, the language practices of others in the institutions of which they are a part and in the wider society within which they live” (Clark & Ivaniè, 1997, p. 217). As a pedagogy, CLA raises students’ awareness about power
relations in their languaging practices in and beyond the classroom (Shapiro, 2022), cultivates learner agency in meaning-making (Leeman, 2014), and advocates for linguistic justice (Baker-Bell, 2020).</span></p>

<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:normal;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px">In response to Vinogradova and Shin’s (2020) call to rethink language education to reflect the “local realities and demands” (p. 284) of racially, culturally,
socially and linguistically minoritized communities, we seek contributions which reimagine language education from its broadest definition, which may include but not limited to TESOL, bi/multilingual education, world language education, and English language
arts, to unpack the intersectionality of language, power, ideology and society. Specifically, we welcome previously unpublished work addressing one or multiple of the following topics:</span></p>
