| contents | English Language Education in Primary Schooling in Argentina Melin Porto Educación ELT Chubut La Pampa Argentina Entre Ríos This article describes public primary English language education in Argentina. I begin with background information about the country and a brief historical overview of educa tion in general, accompanied by a portrait of primary schooling in particular. This overview involves local, political and economic considerations but also international influences that have played a key role in shaping the direction of language policies i n primary education at the provincial and national levels in the country. I describe the national curriculum guidelines ( Núcleos de aprendizaje prioritario , NAP) for foreign language education, contextualising them within the national education policies fo r primary school in force since 2003 and the new National Education Act ( Ley Nacional de Educación 26.206 ) . These guidelines and policies adopt an intercultural and plurilingual approach in the teaching of foreign languages, including English, at all level s of education and embrace a social justice conceptualisation of education in all cases. This approach has been materialised in ELT curriculum developments and programs in several of the 24 jurisdictions of the country with different degrees of development. I illustrate with the cases of the provinces of Buenos Aires, La Pampa, Entre Ríos and Chubut using interview data collected in 2015. Program leaders in these provinces describe their local initiatives. The article closes with a brief account of the affordances observed and the challenges ahead. 2016 artículo científico 1068-2341 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=275043450121 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2750 Education Policy Analysis Archives/Archivos Analíticos de Políticas Educativas application/pdf Arizona State University Education Policy Analysis Archives/Archivos Analíticos de Políticas Educativas (Estados Unidos de América) Vol.24 |
