Decolonising Language Education

Reframing English Language Development for Multilingual and Neurodiverse Learners

About this book

How can educators transform language education to empower multilingual and neurodiverse learners while respecting their identities?

Jaime Hoerricks challenges the colonial mindset that promotes "Standard English" over home languages. This book addresses the unique needs of Gestalt Language Processors in primary and secondary schools, where English functions as a foreign language. Using the Natural Language Acquisition model and the Power Threat Meaning Framework, Dr. Hoerricks advocates for an inclusive, equitable approach that values diverse linguistic backgrounds and empowers students to thrive academically while preserving cultural identities.

Ideal for educators, researchers, and students in education studies, this book offers critical insights on inclusive language education for multilingual and neurodiverse learners.
