Project Summary
This initiative will develop two place-centered, experiential language learning resources that enhance international learners’ critical awareness of anti-racism, indigeneity and decolonization in Canada and their home countries. One resource explores the Reconciliation Pole and the other looks at the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre. The projects will be based on diverse Indigenous perspectives, epistemologies and pedagogies integrated with current research in language teaching and learning, and use this knowledge to develop a brief instructors’ guide to further implementing social justice content in curriculum and lesson planning.
