Critical Interculturality. A Path for Pre-service ELT Teachers

Abstract: This article elaborates a theoretical reflection upon critical interculturality as a tool for decolonial pedagogy, which needs to be explored in initial language teacher education programs as a means to counteract the increasing emphasis on the instrumental nature of the field caused by a limited view of the meaning of professional development. For this purpose, the text addresses, first, the theoretical developments of the decolonial turn; secondly, it discusses the notion of critical interculturality; and fi… Show more

“…When teachers introduce such topics into their conversations with students, they are co‐constructing the nationalized culture in potentially new ways that could re‐set power relationships tied to conventional representations. Critical scholarship (Crozet, 2017; Dervin, 2016; Granados‐Beltrán, 2016) promotes teacher decision‐making that results in cultural representations that are inclusive of the diverse realities of cultural/linguistic life in postmodern communities.…”

“…Les propos de cet enseignant convergent avec ceux des auteurs précités (Dervin, 2017 ;Granados-Beltrán, 2016 ;Kramsch, 2009), notamment sur le principe de privilégier, dans la classe de langue, diverses manières de voir et de comprendre la réalité.

“…Cárdenas & Suárez, 2009;Viáfara, 2016), the development of their research skills (M. L. Cárdenas, Nieto, & Martin, 2005;Posada & Garzón, 2014), the improvement of linguistic or intercultural competencies (Castro & López, 2014;Fajardo & Miranda, 2015;Franco & Galvis, 2013;Ramos, 2013;Viáfara, 2008), their reflections on language teaching (Castillo & Díaz, 2012;Morales, 2016); also, some others propose changes for the curriculum for language teacher education programs in regard to the teaching practicum (J. Aguirre & Ramos, 2011;Bonilla, 2012;Bonilla & Méndez, 2008;Fandiño, 2013; Pre-Service English Teachers' Voices About the Teaching Practicum Granados-Beltrán, 2016;Méndez & Bonilla, 2016;Samacá, 2012). From this account, we can determine that there is a need to continue doing research with pre-service teachers but specifically in the teaching practicum, and exploring how this experience affects pre-service teachers' vision regarding language teaching and learning.…”
