- English Instructors Navigating Decoloniality with Afro Colombian and Indigenous University Students Claudia Patricia Gutiérrez Maure Aguirre Ortega Lengua y Literatura ELT afro decoloniality translanguaging Colombian students As English spreads globally, it continues to displace local languages and cultures at all levels of education. Concerned with this issue, in this article we report our experiences as English instructors attempting to decolonize English lessons to embrace the diverse cultures, languages, and realities of Indigenous and Afro-Colombian students enrolled in English courses at a public university in Medellín, Colombia. To attain this, we framed lessons from a decolonial, critical intercultural (CI) perspective and strived to interrogate language ideologies and cultural power relations by inviting students’ languages and cultures to the classroom. The experience suggests that sustaining local languages and cultures through English entails the production of teaching materials that contest the erasure, homogenization, and misrepresentations of Black and Indigenous peoples. It also implies positioning students as experts on their cultures and as text producers, all of which provides a broader understanding of intersectionality in Indigenous and Black communities. 2022 artículo científico 0123-3432 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=255075117010 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2550/255075117010/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2550/255075117010/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2550/255075117010/255075117010.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2550/255075117010/movil 10.17533/udea.ikala.v27n3a11 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2550 Íkala, revista de lenguaje y cultura application/pdf Universidad de Antioquia Íkala, revista de lenguaje y cultura (Colombia) Num.3 Vol.27
