Teaching EFL Students about the
Use of
Non-Biased Language
Justus J. Randolph
University

| Abstract In this article, I make an argument that language educators have a duty to teach their students about how to avoid using biased language. I also present a pedagogical structure for teaching about language bias, summarize current language bias guidelines, and provide a short language bias quiz that can be used to activate and evaluate student learning. |
