SUMMARY:Teaching Languages Talk Series - Pluralistic approaches in Mexico: 
 Decolonizing language learning\, decolonizing research
DESCRIPTION:\n\nJoin UFV Modern Languages on the first panel of the Teachin
 g Languages Talk Series!\n\nOn this panel\, Dr. Despagne will share her in
 sights on language teaching and language research as well as present her b
 ook “Decolonizing Language Learning\, decolonizing research: a critical 
 ethnography study in a Mexican university.”\nNote from the guest speaker
 :\nIn this talk\, I will partly present my book “Decolonizing Language L
 earning\, decolonizing research: a critical ethnography study in a Mexican
  university” by exploring the socio-political dynamics\, historical forc
 es\, and unequal power relationships which mediate language ideologies in 
 Mexican higher education settings\, shedding light on the processes by whi
 ch minority students learn new languages in post-colonial contexts.\n\nDra
 wing on data from a critical ethnographic case study of a Mexican universi
 ty over several years\, I will turn a critical lens on language learning a
 utonomy and the use of the Common European Framework of Reference for Lang
 uages (CEFR) in post-colonial higher education settings\, and advocate for
  an approach to the language learning and teaching process which takes min
 ority language learners’ cultural heritage and localized knowledge into 
 account.\n\nI will also highlight the importance of critical approaches to
  encourage the equitable treatment of diverse cultures and languages and t
 he development of agency in minority language learners. Finally\, I will s
 howcase a unique research methodology which underpins the data\, integrati
 ng participatory methods such as Interpretative Focus Groups in an attempt
  to decolonize research by engaging and involving participants in the anal
 ysis of the data.\nDr. Colette Despagne's Bio:\nColette Despagne is a prof
 essor and researcher at the Research Institute in Social Sciences and Huma
 nities at the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP)\, Mexico.
