Learning from Culturally Relevant Pedagogy and Critical Discourse Analysis: Informing and Successfully Impacting Foreign Language Teaching

applied to language learning pedagogies. In the following section, I present a brief overview of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP), including pertinent literature on their application in foreign language classrooms. Then, I present a brief example of how I implemented these approaches in the classroom. I conclude by offering general remarks on these two complementary approaches and their value to foreign language teaching. It is important to mention that even though I refer mostly to foreign language education, the methods and theories discussed here are applicable to language learners more broadly.
