Conheça o resumo da comunicação, disponível na plataforma da IC-SPELT:
The English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom has long been deemed a preferential space to promote global citizenship and intercultural understanding. Yet, as evidenced by research, teachers often feel unsure about the most appropriate approaches and pedagogies to address global issues and steer away from treating global issues in class because of their sensitive nature. Addressing this context, in a first part of this presentation, I will provide an overview of EFL teaching and learning in Portugal and of recent educational reforms. Then, drawing on the results of a case study, I will show how global citizenship issues have been introduced in the primary EFL curriculum through analyzing pre-service teachers’ discourses and practices.
