Unit 11: Ethics of Cultural Representation in Language Teaching

10. Conclusion

Teaching culture ethically requires continuous reflection, intentionality, and respect for complexity. As educators, we must move beyond superficial or one-sided representations and instead promote critical engagement with cultural diversity. This unit reinforces the idea that ethical language teaching involves not just what we teach, but how and whose voices we center. In doing so, we empower students to become thoughtful, inclusive communicators in a globalized world.
