LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN POSTMODERNIST CONTEXT
LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN POSTMODERNIST CONTEXT

Summary/Abstract: This article presents aspects of language education in a postmodern context, influenced by various theories and perspectives that emphasize plurality, diversity of interpretation, and cultural relativism. Postmodernism underscores the value of linguistic and cultural diversity and is characterized by: the development of critical consciousness; the exploration of multiple perspectives on a text; the recognition that interpretations can vary depending on cultural, social, and personal context; language is semantically autonomous or self-referential and is seen as an infinite play of meanings; the meaning of words and sentences is determined by the internal structures of language itself; subjectivity is produced within a range of practical discourses - economic, social, cultural. These characteristics reflect paradigmatic shifts in education, influenced by postmodern thought, which emphasizes diversity, social critique, and adaptability in the face of new cultural and technological realities.
