Day 1: Social Justice and SJLE
This collection features resources from our first workshop day, dedicated to establishing the core principles of Social Justice in Language Education (SJLE). The materials guided participants in building a critical foundation, which they applied by analysing real textbook pages and proposing adaptations through a social justice lens.
