Social Justice in Language Education Update
The Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) at the University of Minnesota is pleased to announce two new resources offered through its Social Justice in Language Education initiative.

Social Justice Planning Templates–New!
To help language educators incorporate social justice themes into their language classes, CARLA has developed three interrelated planning templates for creating curricular units grounded in target language texts: a curricular unit overview template, a lesson planning template, and a summative assessment template. These three templates will help language educators enact two complementary critical pedagogies that support the teaching of social justice topics: the multiliteracies framework (Cope & Kalantzis, 2015; New London Group, 1996) and the five components of social justice education (Hackman, 2005). The templates also incorporate social justice standards from the domains of identity, diversity, justice, and action (Learning for Justice, 2021).

Check out these new Social Justice in Language Education resources:

Curricular unit user’s guide and template
Lesson plan user’s guide and template
Summative assessment user’s guide, template, and rubric

To illustrate how the templates can be used to support social justice in language education, CARLA has also developed a two-week-long curricular unit titled Multicultural Paris, intended for intermediate-level learners of French. More curricular units in French, German, and Spanish will be published later this fall!

Social Justice Planning Templates: A How-to Guide for Language Educators

In this practical webinar, CARLA’s Social Justice in Language Education initiative leaders share unit, lesson plan, and summative assessment templates along with their accompanying user’s guides, and discuss how to use and adapt them to fit the needs of language teachers and students alike.

Presenters:

Lauren Goodspeed is a Lecturer in the Department of French and Italian and Director of the French Language Program. She is a co-leader of the LRC initiative Social Justice in Language Education.
