Language as both a social practise and the manner in which it produces and is created by a range of social connections are of relevance to instructors who are engaged in identities, multilingualism, and critical approaches. These interactions are diverse, similar to those between a speaker and a listener, an educator, a test creator and a test participant, and a university and a nation.The common belief that social interactions are rarely formed on equal footing, echoing and forming power structures in larger society, is what qualifies educators as "analytical." Additionally, the plural form of "pedagogical approaches" implies that there are several ways in which pedagogy may be critical; for critical language educators, the difficulty is figuring out the most effective approach to undertake a project of potential vocabulary learning across time and various contexts.
