Revision as of 12:58, 15 October 2013 by Omnipaedista (talk | contribs) (per MOS:BOLDSYN)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)In linguistics, critical language awareness, often referred to as CLA, is a notion that relates to a learner's development of practical language capabilities and their ability to recognize what constitutes "appropriate" in language. A person's CLA may be heightened by being marginalized by their race, ethnicity, religion, social status, etc. It 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".
