‘I am only the English teacher’: Decolonizing ELT practices

Dr. Carlo Granados, current President of ASOCOPI, talks about decolonizing practices in ELT. Local ELT scholars are starting to explore how a decolonial position might enrich the field. Decolonial though is complex and multifold as it feeds on many different sources; therefore, although many teachers feel attracted to the idea of a decolonizing practice, they may think this only a utopia. The purpose of this webinar is to show, first, why it could be important to engage with this position, and second, different strategies we, English teachers, could use to include some elements of decoloniality in our practices. Teachers will also be provided with material they could use to incorporate in their classes.
