Educators encourage learners to seek authenticity in understanding FL, bridging local productions with unfamiliar cultural contexts. Learners, by engaging in co-authorship of interculturally developed texts, connect learning with personal experiences, fostering critical reflections and reshaping self-perception and global understanding.

In a globalized world, learners aspire to grasp FL without cultural erasure, seeking to embrace diverse identities without silencing their own.
