Empowering Education through Critical Language Awareness

This book explores how Critical Language Awareness (CLA) can address challenges posed by AI-generated contents in higher education writing. As AI tools reshape academic writing, concerns about integrity, equity, and critical language skills emerge. The chapter argues that CLA helps students and educators navigate AI-assisted writing responsibly by examining socio-cultural biases and linguistic hierarchies. It reviews literature and practical strategies to integrate CLA into writing pedagogy, emphasizing its role in fostering equitable learning environments and supporting writing centers. Ultimately, the work advocates for CLA as a means to uphold academic integrity and advance social justice in education.
