Περίληψη: The article focuses on the concept of Critical Language Awareness (CLA), which aims to empower learners to critically reflect on language practices and the power dynamics involved in language and literacy education. It discusses the pedagogical implications of CLA, highlighting its potential to foster learner agency, advocate for linguistic justice, and promote societal transformation. The special issue presents six studies that explore CLA from various perspectives, including identity, resistance, and transformation, and offers practical strategies for educators to implement CLA in diverse educational settings. The article emphasizes the importance of integrating CLA into teaching practices to challenge oppressive language norms and support the development of critical consciousness among students.
