There is a compelling call to action for the educational field to develop fair and respectful practices that contribute to a brighter and more inclusive future. This comprehensive collection of case studies is designed to empower educators by providing them with the necessary pedagogical content knowledge, dispositions, and curricular insights to actively decolonize second/world language teaching in K-12 and university contexts.

By encouraging readers to engage in critical reflection and praxis, this book fosters a transformative approach to language education that addresses historical injustices and promotes inclusive, anti-racist, and equitable learning environments for all students.
