Education and Multicultural Societies, Module 2: Transforming Education by Embracing Bilingual Learners

Abstract

From the course Education and Multicultural Societies of the Master's degree in bilingual learning environments, the module entitled, Transforming Education by Embracing Bilingual Learners, addresses the principles of decolonial pedagogy in conjunction with the concept of situated interculturality. In this sense, a critical perspective contributes to an understanding and integration of sociocultural and sociopolitical dimensions to contribute from human, social and cultural factors in the communities of bilingual learning environments. The module starts from a problematization from the context of the Amazon, where sociocultural, economic and political factors converge in a multilingual context, in which stakeholders of the educational field are involved in an educational process that involves Spanish, indigenous languages and foreign languages such as English and Portuguese.
