This presentation argues for Pluriversal Applied Linguistics in which language is used and studied in relation to humans, non-humans and beyond humans promoting research and education for a better society and planetary survival for all. Drawing on personal and empirical data, this presentation will offer a fresh perspective towards pluriversalizing applied linguistics research and language teaching with a focus on critical ethnography and decolonial praxis. I urge humanity to rethink binary views on language and encourage researchers and practitioners to indulge in insights from the Global South, unlocking the possibilities for the future of language learning, teaching and research. As a collective, we can demonstrate that language and languaging can be used as a counter narrative to defy social hierarchies and that teaching is an invaluable humanizing praxis. We all can collaboratively invent new communicative forms, negotiate learning, and strengthen cultural practices. In the end, I propose a Critical Humanizing Pedagogical (CHP) alter/native approach for language teaching and learning that should focus on understanding a pluriversality of beings in connection with communities, their identities, cultures, and languages while purposely and vigorously attempting to challenge all forms of oppression and inequity for a world worth living.
