Abstract

This chapter argues for radical (re)alignment of our university language teaching praxis to embrace not only cultural and linguistic diversity, but diversity in all its forms. The design of ‘open’, principled spaces of inclusive learning hone in on the development of learning resources that may support meaningful, inclusive engagement with the study of languages while celebrating learners’ diverse backgrounds and identities. I focus specifically on two open access Online Educational Resources (OERs) developed for beginning and intermediate Spanish language courses at an Australian university. The pedagogical vision underpinning these OERs is informed by interweaving genealogies of critical pedagogy, transformative language learning, intersectional feminism, raciolinguistic perspectives, and decolonial theories as applied to languages education. Curated content and sequences of activities in these OERs serve to illustrate the potential of this pedagogical approach to engage learners in critical study of the Spanish-speaking world through the lens of their own diverse identities.
