[Aguirre, Marisol - (aguirrem) via Edling]

Language educators! Join us for the second webinar of our current series on Transforming Language Teaching Materials: From Selection and Adaptation, to Creation, to Successful Implementation<https://cercll.arizona.edu/materialswebinars/>!


"The Evolving Landscape of Language Instructional Materials: Navigating Challenges and Embracing Opportunities"

May 14, 2025, 2-3:30 PM Arizona/MST (UTC-7)

by Adriana Diaz, PhD, critical languages and intercultural education scholar at the University of Queensland.


This interactive webinar invites language educators and program administrators to explore how teaching materials can be more accessible, inclusive, and authentic. Grounded in social justice, critical pedagogy, and decolonial theory, it addresses challenges in representing diverse identities, embracing cultural fluidity, and ensuring equitable access to resources.


Participants will:

  *
unpack three urgent and interconnected challenges – accessibility, inclusivity, and authenticity – through the lenses of social justice, critical pedagogy, and decolonial theory, while also exploring the opportunities they offer for more equitable teaching;
  *
focus on Open Educational Resources (OERs) as sustainable solutions that promote equitable access, dismantle normativities, amplify diverse voices, and empower educators to critically engage with content;
  *
gain practical strategies for selecting, adapting, and creating instructional materials that reflect justice-oriented and inclusive practices;
  *
leave with concrete ideas for integrating more inclusive and critically engaged materials into their own teaching contexts.
