| description | Introducing gender-just linguistic practices in language education fosters the creation of a learning environment that is respectful and attentive to the diversity of language classes. In this paper, we provide an overview of existing terminology and main research studies on the thematization of gender-just language in the language classroom. We then propose a pedagogical framework in the form of a toolkit with conceptual principles and linguistic strategies and examine its practical applications. Our aim is to orient the pedagogical and linguistic choices of teachers of gendered languages in the complex task of giving linguistic visibility to gender diversity. |
