Unit 13: Global Ethics in Language Education

9. Conclusion

Unit 13 encourages future educators to critically reflect on the broader social, political, and environmental responsibilities embedded in global language teaching. It challenges the assumption that teaching English is a neutral act, urging teachers to consider the impact of their pedagogical choices on linguistic diversity, cultural integrity, and educational equity. By engaging with issues of linguistic justice, postcolonial critique, and sustainability, educators are empowered to adopt a more ethical, inclusive, and globally responsible approach to language education. Ultimately, teaching English becomes not just a linguistic task, but a profound ethical commitment to fairness, respect, and global solidarity.
