Over the past decade, demand has been growing for a more critical approach to teaching languages and cultures: in response, this volume brings together a group of scholars whose work bridges the fields of world language education and critical approaches to education. Within the current US context, the chapters address the following key questions: (1) How are pre-service or in-service world language teachers\/professors embedding issues, understandings, or content related to social justice, human rights, access, critical pedagogy and equity into their teaching and curriculum? (2) How are teacher educators preparing language teachers to teach for social justice, human rights, access and equity?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a must-read for world language teachers, administrators, teacher educators, and researchers. Each chapter is a powerhouse doing invaluable work calling out the need for critical reflection and urgent change in our field while also calling in collaborators to be agents of purposeful, positive impact and showing them concrete steps to take meaningful action for equity and social justice within their immediate spheres of influence and beyond. * Uju Anya, Carnegie Mellon University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThe struggle to transform our world for a more just and equitable future requires imagination and expertise. World language teachers can play an important role in ensuring that our future stays multilingual. This book offers the tools and concrete examples that are needed for preparing and sustaining world and heritage language teachers for this challenge. * Jenna Cushing-Leubner, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a challenging book. It challenges teachers and teacher educators to re-think their traditions and their assumptions about their purposes and identities as ‘language teachers’. It helps us all not just to ‘think again’ but also to move forward in reflection and practice. It is a book anchored in world language teaching in the USA, but has a much wider relevance for readers in other continents and countries. * Michael Byram, University of Durham, UK; Sofia University St Kliment Ohridski, Bulgaria *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimely and relevant, [this book] will make a significant contribution to the ongoing conversation on reshaping world language education for the twenty-first century. Its unique perspective and approach, pragmatic teaching examples, and compelling insights with regards to today’s and tomorrow’s teaching standards will be of benefit to scholars in higher education, teachers at the secondary and postsecondary levels, students interested in world language education at all levels, scholars in related disciplines and fields currently engaging similar questions of anti-racism, social justice, and equity, and program chairs and administrators.\u003c\/p\u003e * Diana Ruggiero, The University of Memphis, USA, Hispania, Volume 106, Number 1, March 2023 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments           \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEditors’ Note\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
