Abstract
MOSQUERA, Óscar Andrés; CARDENAS, Melba Libia and CLAUDIA NIETO, María. Pedagogical and Research Approaches in Inclusive Education in ELT in Colombia: Perspectives From Some Profile Journal Authors. profile [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.2, pp.231-246. ISSN 1657-0790. https://doi.org/10.15446/profile.v20n2.72992.
This article reports on a descriptive study carried out in articles published in the Profile: Issues in Teachers’ Professional Development journal that deal with inclusive education in English language teaching in Colombia. The study embraced documentary research and critical discourse analysis which helped us identify trends in pedagogical approaches in foreign language instruction and research approaches employed by the journal’s authors. It also allowed us to examine how such approaches show the presence or absence of inclusive education both in public policies and pedagogical interventions by institutions and individuals. We hope that the outcomes derived from this study nurture further discussion, encourage research, and motivate pedagogical practices that foster inclusive education in foreign language teaching and teacher education.
Keywords : English language teaching; inclusive education; pedagogical approaches; public language policies; research approaches.
