Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the field of language education, there is an increased recognition that equity, diversity, inclusion, and social justice should be established in every aspect of teaching and learning. This trend exists against the backdrop of broader sociopolitical contexts that are becoming more volatile and threatening to human existence, requiring a greater promotion of sustainability of humankind and the non-human world. Under this circumstance, language education, with its aim to foster communicative competence, contributes to honoring human dignity and building solidarity across differences. Central to this vision is justice-affirming language teaching for raising critical consciousness of how oppressive forces affect the lives of individuals who are positioned differently in power hierarchies. Simultaneously, this framework requires praxis: critical reflection for unlearning and a commitment to putting relearned critical perspectives into action (Freire, 1998). In this essay, I will outline a conceptual foundation of justice-affirming language teaching, challenges that need to be overcome, and its applications to the context of Japan.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
