The second edition of Words and Actions features an expanded framework, a variety of new unit, lesson, and activity examples from different languages and levels, and additional content on how social justice education fits within the context of contemporary approaches to language instruction. The revised text provides concrete examples to help readers navigate the opportunities and challenges inherent in adopting a social justice lens, such as the difference between a good cultural lesson and a social justice lesson. Expanded chapters also provide support for adapting curriculum in different contexts, including those that emphasize immersion, comprehensible input, Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storyteeling (TPRS), and content-based insturciton. New educator voices and examples from both commonly and less commonly taught language classrooms provide an authentic picture of social justice work taking place in classrooms across the United States. A new chapter about critical moements in the classroom has also been added to provide a clear g uide and explicit tools to help teachers address complex events and challenging moments in the classroom.
