- Accounting for Difference and Diversity in Language Teaching and Learning in Colombia Ferney Cruz-Arcila Educación culture research education Language instruction (Source: Unesco Thesaurus) This article calls for locally grounded approaches to the teaching of foreign langua- ges in Colombia, in an attempt to recognize difference, diversity and heterogenei- ty. To that end, I first present a critical review of how traditional language teaching methods fail to offer a comprehensive accountability for the sort of multifarious cultural, ethnic, economic, and ideological factors that influence language learning and teaching. The review also considers the current historical moment in Colombia in which a nation-wide linguistic policy is being implemented. Second, there is a clear reference to the Post method Pedagogy in which principles such as particula- rity, practicality and possibility offer an alternative view to the language teaching enterprise. Third, I highlight the value of having glocal educational perspectives for foreign language teaching (FLT) in the context of post method pedagogies. Finally, this reflection underlines the importance of research in general and action research in particular, to propose locally sensitive teaching actions as discussed throughout the paper. 2013 artículo científico 0123-1294 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=83428614010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=834 Educación y Educadores application/pdf Universidad de La Sabana Educación y Educadores (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.16
