AI-generated Abstract
Critical Language Awareness (CLA) has emerged in response to the limitations of traditional language teaching approaches that view languages in isolation. This paper argues for the importance of integrating CLA into educational methodologies to help students recognize and critically analyze the ideological implications of language use in various texts. It discusses new research directions in CLA, emphasizing the need for a shift from monolingual to plurilingual paradigms, and proposes guidelines for educators to foster students' understanding of sociocultural dynamics in language, which can empower them to challenge linguistic norms and succeed academically.
