In the past decade, both the Modern Language Association (MLA) and the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) called for curricular changes that better integrate languages and cultures, advocating for multidisciplinary work with the intent to broaden learners’ linguistic and cultural skills as well as regional expertise. It is in this spirit, and to engage language through content, that the authors embarked on the design of a multidisciplinary teaching module in an advanced Spanish course to explore the links between climate shocks and human migration in México and Central America. At the beginning of the article, the authors discuss the theoretical and pedagogical...

Se quiere planear a los alumnos el tema del desarrollo sostenible y de los problemas que afectan al medio ambiente; ellos trabajarán en casa con diferentes recursos que la profesora ha cargado en Blendspace, una plataforma virtual. Posteriormente se ampliará y se discutirá sobre este tema en clase y, como tarea final, se pedirá a los alumnos que creen un folleto con los consejos para salvar el planeta. Serán los alumnos mismos a evaluar los trabajos y a elegir los mejores, que serán presentados a los compañeros de otros cursos.

Resumen:

Cumbiana, la canción que da nombre al álbum discográfico de Carlos Vives lanzado en 2020, muestra en su videoclip, a través de los ojos de una adolescente, la vida en una comunidad lagunar del Caribe colombiano. El disco presenta una fusión de diferentes ritmos y representa, en el lenguaje visual del videoclip, las características del territorio anfibio colombiano, su cultura y la historia de violencia que ha sufrido esa comunidad en un pasado no tan lejano. En la primera parte del trabajo se describe el videoclip y, a partir de él, se comentan dos temas importantes que aparecen: el rescate de la memoria sobre los hechos violentos ocurridos en ese lugar y la necesidad de una educación ecológica que refuerce la preservación del medio ambiente. En la segunda parte se ofrece una aplicación didáctica del videoclip para el aula de...

Resumen:

This Element critically explores the notion of climate education in the humanities and how it should embrace the teaching, learning, and research of second and heritage languages (SL/HL), starting with basic language programs. Because language is inseparable from the spheres where climate narratives and discourses circulate. The interconnectedness between language (as discourse), sociolinguistics, culture, social justice, and the climate crisis entails an approach to Climate Humanities that requires a paradigmatic and epistemological turn. By addressing how SL/HL education works and whom it serves, the Element proposes a root-level curricular and program transformation for advancing an equitable language classroom with a focus on climate and sustainability. Comprehensive sections delve into three applied teaching principles: (1)...

In both the school environment and teacher education, sustainable development is usually linked to the natural and social sciences and is rarely incorporated into language education or encouraged as part of language teacher education. As more research is needed on the practical implementation of sustainable development in language teaching and language teacher education, this study elucidates Finnish pre-service language teachers' perceptions of sustainability dimensions (i.e. ecological, economic, social, and cultural) and their role in language teaching. We used a questionnaire comprising open-ended and Likert-scale questions to examine pre-service language teachers' perceptions of and attitudes...

Resumen:

This article explores the current politics and practices of language teaching and learning at higher education in the US, and the ethical dilemmas that we face as instructors of Spanish as a Second Language (L2) with a focus on climate emergency. How can we teach and learn Spanish—a colonial language mostly in Latin America, but also in Africa, Asia, and even Oceania—in the context of climate and the environment without somehow perpetuating the ‘colonial normal’? How can we teach and learn Spanish in the context of climate and the environment without somehow propagating the colonial imperative? If we acknowledge that the climate crisis is the result of intersectional colonial and neocolonial processes at various levels, we need to decolonize our teaching dynamics. Thus, to tackle these questions, we propose radical curricular...
