    "Information literacy needs to start in elementary school, and students must be consistently and continuously engaged as they mature from there. New challenges in how we identify and contextualize various kinds of fabrications in libraries, archives, and museums-and in the classroom and in the learning experiences of students more broadly-will continue to arise" (¶10, retrieved 2018.11.15).

  • powerful languages of the world may express national identities, or they may be the medium for the expression of other collective identities distinct from or even in conflict with the nation
  • Absorption and incorporation may be the preferred option for the powerful; for others – the majority, we suspect – the plurality and diversity of human expression, even within the world’s most powerful languages, is what the intercultural approach, moving from language learning to languaging, can both celebrate and encourage
  • It is therefore our task in the next chapter to begin to discover a way forward, to find theory and method sufficient to the task of creating critical dispositions for languaging and being intercultural
