Project overview
Baker and Morán-Panero’s research has established that teachers are typically unaware of the disempowering effects of Anglophone focused colonial frameworks in English language teaching (ELT). Furthermore, teachers struggle to know how to challenge such frameworks in their classrooms. We designed a range of activities that delivered significant impact in raising teachers’ awareness [SM2.1][WB2.2]of and practices in
•diverse multilingual, intercultural models and aims in ELT,
•global citizenship education,
•incorporating the experience of diverse and marginalised groups of students,
•and the role of language and education in de/coloniality and dis/empowerment.
The activities have generated changes in ELT material, assessment and curricular design and influenced teachers’ classroom practices.
