This book brings together authors from diverse geographical and professional contexts united by a common goal: to discuss social justice in language teacher education and language classrooms. The chapters take the reader on a journey from conceptual dilemmas, through specific critical issues, to projects with clear pedagogical implications.
Because of its focus on mutual understanding, the language classroom is uniquely situated to discuss and enact ideas about social justice. This book brings together authors from different geographical and professional contexts united by a common goal: to bring about a change in language teacher education and language classrooms. The chapters represent the perspectives of authors at a range of stages in their careers, both professional and academic; together they take the reader on a journey from conceptual dilemmas and their place in applied linguistics, through specific critical issues which are positioned within the theoretical landscape surrounding social justice, to projects with clear pedagogical implications. The book represents a much-needed step in broadening the conversation about social justice in and through language education, and will be of interest to both language teachers and researchers and students working in Applied Linguistics. 

Albert Biel is a research assistant and PhD student at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. His research interests revolve around social justice in language education in general and more specifically about queer-informed language education practices. Fabian Maria Esleben is currently a teacher trainee at Nordmarkt Primary School, Dortmund, Germany. His research focus is on the role of language in teaching contexts with a focus on English as a lingua franca and social justice.
