How can we address colonialingualism in language education? Here are 5 key points from my new article “Transepistemic language teacher education: A framework for plurilingualism, translanguaging, and challenging colonialingualism”. Read more here: doi.org/10.1111/modl...

Infographic titled “Transepistemic Language Teacher Education: Five Key Points.”
It presents a vertical sequence of five numbered points:

A knowledge-bridging framework that brings diverse ways of knowing and being into dialogue.
Challenges colonialingualism, the privileging of dominant colonial languages and knowledges.
Complements plurilingualism and translanguaging, reconnecting links between language, land, and identity.
Applies a place-based, biocultural approach to language learning and teacher preparation.
Encourages and supports language teachers to engage with ecological knowledges and land-centered practices.
