    "abstract": "This article tackles the questions around the efficacy of the English language in educational contexts.The author argues that the\nanswer to these questions has nothing to do with whether English\nis a more viable language of instruction or whether it promises\nnon-English–speaking students full participation both in school\nand the society at large. This position, in the author’s view, would\npoint to an assumption that English is, in fact, a superior language and that we live in a classless, race-blind society. He proposes, instead, that the attempt to institute proper and effective\nmethods of educating non-English–speaking students rests on a\nfull understanding of the ideological elements that generate and\nsustain linguistic, cultural, and racial discrimination, which represent vestiges of a colonial legacy in our democracy",
