My decolonial stance lies in Knowledge decolonization –Knowledge is power in the modern era, and coloniality has transformed from hard power to soft power domination through education, knowledge, and research. Couze Venn (2000) critically characterized what constituted modernity through the lens of the Western Canon in his seminal work Occidentalism: Modernity and Subjectivity. As English language teachers/researchers, we are all controlled by the normalizing power, from public language policies to institutional policies, such as the “hidden” curricula imposed on schools by Ministries of Education as well as the syllabi and materials guided by the hegemonic Common European Framework, which all reproduces the dominant ideology carried from Eurocentric modernity.
