Envisioning Pre-service English teacher education in Colombia as political action
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Este artigo reflexivo discute a necessidade de rever a formação dos futuros professores de inglês para colocar as dimensões crítica e política como componentes centrais da formação. O autor apresenta um breve olhar crítico sobre alguns eventos históricos importantes na Colômbia, que ocorreram principalmente durante os últimos sessenta anos. Também descreve duas propostas educacionais nacionais que visam promover relações humanas pacíficas e o conhecimento do passado histórico do país (Cadeira para a Paz e Padrões de Competências Cidadãs). Além disso, discute duas abordagens complementares para a formação inicial de professores de inglês como possíveis alternativas que colocam a formação de professores a partir de uma posição política e crítica (Formação de professores para a justiça social e Formação crítica de professores). Finalmente, descreve três tendências no ensino e pesquisa de inglês na Colômbia como uma ilustração das maneiras pelas quais diferentes acadêmicos têm representado o ensino de inglês como parte de um esforço para posicionar o ensino da língua a partir de uma abordagem política e crítica. O autor conclui que para contribuir para a construção de um país mais justo, equânime e pacífico, os programas de formação inicial de professores devem preparar futuros professores comprometidos com o processo de transformação social, cultural e política das realidades locais do país.
