Centering Language(s) and Linguistics in a Social-Justice Oriented Humanities
Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum (CLAC) is a curricular framework that provides opportunities to develop and apply language and intercultural competence within all academic disciplines through the use of multilingual resources and the inclusion of multiple cultural perspectives (https://clacconsortium.org/about-2/defining-clac/). CLAC, as a pedagogical concept and framework for curriculum development, emphasizes the fact the language learning cannot be confined to language- specific classrooms in isolation from other disciplines because language acquisition and linguistic skills become effective when integrated with subject-specific teaching.
