El translenguaje como enfoque metodológico inclusiva para la instrucción mediante el inglés
Resumen
El inglés como medio de instrucción (EMI, por sus siglas en inglés) ha expandido el contacto de los estudiantes con el inglés en muchos países donde éste no es el idioma dominante y como un medio para abrir oportunidades de internacionalización para los estudiantes de estas comunidades. No obstante, la difusión de EMI ha sido criticada por mantener desigualdades locales y globales (Phillipson, 2008; Piller, 2016), y también se han expresado preocupaciones con respecto a la calidad del aprendizaje de los estudiantes en entornos donde se utiliza EMI (Macaro et al., 2018).; Cho, 2012).
Este artículo analiza el potencial del translenguaje como una pedagogía apropiada en entornos cultural y lingüísticamente diversos, presentando como ejemplos a México y Australia. Al aprovechar los recursos lingüísticos naturales de los multilingües, sostenemos que el translenguaje permite a los alumnos acceder al contenido clave del plan de estudios. Además, se sugiere que la pedagogía translenguaje sirve como contraataque a la hegemonía lingüística y su efecto perjudicial sobre la diversidad lingüística y la justicia social.
