Political dimensions of Language Teaching are political act, and those who know a language are empowered. English is seen as a language of power as many people worldwide want to study it for economic advancement. It also helps with globalization yet it raises concern over whether or not English would endanger languages.

The Participatory Approach is based on the growing awareness of the role of education and language education, especially in creating and perpetuating power dynamics in society. Freire spent time dialoguing with people in slums areas and developed a world list words that are important for the people in the communities to learn, thus, it becomes generative words which is used to teach basic decoding and encoding skills, the first step in becoming literate, and this idea inspired adult literacy program. Freire & Dewy criticized the banking method of teaching in which the teachers deposit information in the student and assume that teachers know what students need.

The Participatory Approach plays an important role in education because it is related to students’ lives by discussing social and political issues. With that, students can communicate and collaborate to address the issue linguistically and politically. Moreover, this approach aligns with a language tool to actively participate in society. This means that the students learn languages while also solving real-world problems, making the learning environment more meaningful.

Political decisions, rules, and social structures have an influence on people's lives in today's society. As a language instructor, I now emphasise how important it is for political issues to be resolved in language instruction. Simply put, the participatory approach is preferred because it actively incorporates language politics into the learning process while also acknowledging their existence.

There are two ways that I can incorporate the Participatory Approach that benefits my teaching. First and foremost, create a learning environment where students are open to dialogues about social or political problems that they want to talk about. By doing so, students can use language as a critical tool for addressing those issues while also enhancing their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Another important thing, I would develop problem-posing techniques in which students are empowered to find out any social and political issues that matter. Therefore, they could understand the social context that they are living in and plan those problems for the discussion, shaping their decision-making skills as well.
