It maps how language-as-power (LaP) works at three layers: microsystem (teachers and classrooms), mesosystem (institutions), and macrosystem (socio-politics).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSection 1 surveys LaP historically, tracing its historical evolution from Plato to contemporary theorists and showing how these ideas shape LTE. Building on this history, Sections 2–4 unpack LaP across ecological layers: microsystem, mesosystem, and macrosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSection 5 looks forward, analysing AI's redistribution of power at each scale, and applying a 3Ps (possible, probable, and preferable) futurology to chart potential pathways. Anchored in experiences from the Global South, the Element argues that LaP in LTE needs awareness and action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt offers ideas on how to address these issues in LTE through solutions such as widening epistemic access, contesting monolingual norms, and institutionalising dialogic, justice-oriented professionalism and trans-speakerism, to name a few.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934106534124,"sku":"9781009733809","price":74.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781009733809-language-as-power-in-the-language-teacher-education-ecosystem.jpg?v=1783896742"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/series-elements-in-language-and-power.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
