New Materialist Explorations into Language Education explicates the influential role of social constructionist and new materialism in challenging equity in language education. The book reflects a critical and transformative perspective and fosters ontological-ethical grounding that implicates repositioning researchers for decentralizing them as human agents and focusing on materialities that often play a central role but under covered one. Post humanism encourages researchers to view the society as an ethical interplay between human and non-human assemblages that explore socio-materialities of language education.  The book is organized in five parts and ten chapters: an acceptable account of three concerns: a) the emerging and influential role of material agencies in language teaching contexts, b) the relation between materialities and educational choices we make, and c) human and non-human assemblages in language education contexts. Each chapter explores how agents other than humans enlighten agency in language education context.
