contents This position paper presents the AR Language Map, a speculative artifact designed to enhance understanding of linguistic justice among middle and high school students through augmented reality (AR) that allows students to map their linguistic experiences. Through a social justice-oriented academic outreach program aimed at linguistically, economically, and racially minoritized students, academic concepts on language, culture, race, and power are introduced to California middle school and high school students. The curriculum has activities for each lesson plan drawn from students' culturally relevant experiences. By enabling interactive exploration of linguistic justice, this tool aims to foster empathy, challenge linguistic racism, and valorize linguistic diversity. We discuss its conceptualization within the broader context of AR in social justice education. The AR Language Map not only deepens students' understanding of these critical issues but also enables them to become co-creators of their learning experiences.
