Promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Language Learning Environments

Inclusive pedagogy adopts the premise that all students are able to learn, and practitioners are prepared to help them reach this goal. Nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the field of language education to question whether the rushed changes and transfer to online learning environments supported Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Even though inclusive pedagogy holds the potential to empower students and teachers, this matter may have been neglected in the turbulence of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book provides readers an opportunity to reflect on key issues and current trends in promoting DEI in language learning environments. It also sheds light on research that looks at various contexts, model language learning programs, and initiatives that were taken during the COVID-19 education turbulence and their demonstrable outcomes and reproducible aims and strategies. It is ideal for professors, students, educators, and policymakers.
