Abstract

Grounded in theoretical calls for civic, democratic, and action-oriented approaches to education, this paper frames service-learning (SL) as an effective pedagogy for addressing contemporary global challenges. These features align with the action-oriented approach of the CEFR and the multilingual turn in educational linguistics, emphasizing the necessity of embedding civic goals within language learning. Building on this common ground, this article explores the implementation of SL for plurilingual education in school settings, mapping its theoretical basis and identifying key research directions to address existing empirical gaps.
