Plurilingualism and the Teaching of English to Speakers of Indigenous or Minoritized Languages: Teflsiml (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798272229618)

This book presents the connection between plurilingualism and English language teaching to speakers of Indigenous or minoritized languages from the perspective of a decolonial turn in education inspired by the late Argentinian Mexican philosopher and educator Enrique Dussel and by professors Walter Mignolo and Suresh Canagarajah. This plurilingual decolonial exploration can offer a path forward, especially for speakers of Indigenous languages who have been marginalized by monolingual and Western-centric approaches to education historically and to this moment in time.
Drawing on sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, philosophy of education scholarship, global policy developments, and practical case studies, this book proposes a decolonial rethinking of TEFL/TESL/TEAL. Plurilingualism, as a mindset and flexible set of skills, creates a platform for Indigenous communities' voices, languages, and knowledge systems.
