Investigaciones y debates actuales sobre la enseñanza de inglés en contextos educativos latinoamericanos

Abstract

This book compiles recent research in Argentina, Colombia and Ecuador on the teaching of English in formal educational settings. It includes works by researchers whose findings provide empirical data relevant to both the Latin American and global contexts, focusing on the teaching of English as a language of international communication. The studies address a range of topics, including the training and conceptions of English teachers, the connections between English and indigenous languages, technological developments and digital applications used in classrooms, the relationship between teaching strategies and current curricular policies in the region, and the impact of didactic approaches on student populations in public institutions. Each chapter examines secondary and higher education contexts to construct a framework of perspectives on the teaching of English in the region over the past five years. Additionally, the book offers theoretical and political insights into the role of English in Latin America in a post-pandemic context and in light of developments of artificial intelligence applied to education. As such, this book serves as a reference for researchers, teachers and scholars involved in English language education in Latin America.
