ABSTRACT: The paper addresses the need and importance of including literature of indigenous people and immigrants and their descendants in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) worldwide, mainly in teacher training colleges. The aim is to qualify competent English teachers linguistically, cross-culturally, and morally who will be aware of social injustices, which would extend their roles as language teachers to become agents for change.
