In linguistics, critical language awareness, often referred to as CLA, is a notion that learner's should learn to recognize the social and political aspects of language, linguistic variation and discourse. Fairclough argued that it is insufficient to teach "appropriate" language without considering the why that language is preferred and who makes that decision (as well as the implactions for speakers who do not use "appropriate language." CLA generally includes consideration of how a person may be marginalized by speaking a particular way, especially if that way of speaking serves as an index of their race, ethnicity, religion, social status, etc. CLA is "a prerequisite for effective democratic citizenship, and should therefore be seen as an entitlement for citizens, especially children developing towards citizenship in the educational system".
