“This outstanding handbook is bold, timely, and deeply inspiring. It brings language education’s human, ethical, and political stakes into sharp focus and offers rich theoretical conversation, grounded practice, and visionary futures. A landmark volume that will energize scholars, educators, and policymakers committed to justice‑driven, transformative change.”Bedrettin Yazan, Professor, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA“This timely and inclusive handbook shows how language education advances social change by engaging global issues through democracy, equity, and epistemic justice. Human‑centered and activist in spirit, it demonstrates how empowered educators can honor identity, cultivate humanity, and imagine future possibilities for transformative and justice‑oriented pedagogy.”Gloria Park, Professor, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, USA“This handbook offers a compelling roadmap for language education researchers engaging with social challenges in a rapidly changing world. Amid accelerating technological change, it affirms the vital role of our scholarly efforts in sustaining humane, equitable, and transformative social change through critical intellectual engagement.”Xuesong (Andy) Gao, Professor, University of New South Wales Australia“In a perpetually evolving, fragmented world, integrating social change into language education is indispensable for establishing a society founded on social justice, equity, and harmony. This handbook illustrates that there is no singular or definitive pathway to social transformation. Comprising thirty-four chapters, it offers the essential tools for critical reflection on the orientation, mechanisms, space, and time involved, guiding our thinking in diverse directions, and presenting options for identifying the most effective approaches to social change in language education tailored to our own specific contexts.”Shaila Sultana, Professor, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh“The Routledge Handbook of Language Education and Social Change gives pause for thought by delving into how “social change” is conceptualized and pursued within language education. It is the first to offer genuinely deep understandings of social change in language education through a typology composed of three elements: orientations, mechanisms, and scales/temporalities. It will be welcomed by language educators, curriculum specialists, policymakers, administrators, graduate students, researchers, and governments for its insight and perception.”Othman Z. Barnawi, Professor of Language and Education, Royal Commission for Yanbu Colleges and Institutes, Saudi Arabia
