ELT in Moroccan Higher Education and the Status of Intercultural: Towards a Critical Pedagogy

English Language Teaching (ELT) in Moroccan Higher Education and the Status of the Intercultural offers a critical examination of intercultural language education through a decolonial lens. Challenging dominant Eurocentric understandings of culture, language, and intercultural competence, the book explores how interculturality has been conceptualized, taught, and institutionalized in ELT. Drawing on contemporary scholarship in intercultural studies, critical pedagogy, and decolonial thought, it argues for a rethinking of intercultural education that foregrounds epistemic plurality, power, and local knowledge. Bridging theory and pedagogy, the book provides valuable insights for researchers, teacher educators, and practitioners seeking to develop more critical, context-sensitive, and socially just approaches to English language teaching in Morocco and beyond.
