Abstract
Over the last few decades, advances in social reform in the area of LGBTQI+ protection have been taking place in many countries around the world. However, resources on language learning need to address the erasure of sexual and gender diversity in the language curriculum as current materials remain focused on the portrayal of a heteronormative world in which non-normative ways of living are constantly obliterated. As educators, our objective is to create a safe space where this reality is not silenced. This chapter will take the reader through a series of sessions which incorporate LGTBQI+ content to our syllabus, acquire competences in the usage of inclusive language, and reflect on the concept of intersectional tensions in our communities. In addition, our students were prompted to develop a range of mediation techniques such as explaining concepts and summarizing texts, debating societal issues, and writing argumentative texts.
