Twenty-sixth International Conference on Learning

Abstract

This qualitative documentary research aims at stating the ontological, epistemological and power criteria, grounded on critical interculturality as a decolonial alternative, which will orient the development of a contextualised English textbook, to resist its uncritical development from the voices of Colombian teachers, authors and experts. Eight English textbooks will be analysed, eight authors and teachers, and three experts will be interviewed. Content analysis as a research method, supported by the socio critical approach will be used to articulate the analysis of the information. Such criteria are expected to overcome the instrumental, homogenised and colonised textbook and to build a desirable one, decolonised and sensitive to universal diversity.
