"Making the Decolonising ELT Project Work: A translanguaging view"

This talk will review the need for decolonising English Language Teaching, with specific reference to the Global South contexts and the argument, and evidence, of Unequal Englishes (Tupas, 2015). It will explore how Translanguaging, especially Translanguaging Pedagogy (cf. pedagogical translanguaging), can contribute to making the decolonising ELT project work in practice, with fundamental implications for policy and planning.
