Summary
The foreign language classroom can be a transformative place where learners' meaning-making repertoires are stretched and potential for perspective-shifting and learner empowerment open up. This chapter presents foreign language learning as a process of potential semiotic empowerment and draws on classroom-based research in two different settings to illustrate how teachers’ curricular planning and instructional moves in classroom interactions facilitate transformative learning.
