Rising Voices- Towards Curricular Justice in English Language Teaching

With their illusion of neutrality, traditional hegemonic views of the school curriculum have silenced the voices of the oppressed. As Connell (1992) explains, the search for social justice “requires a counter-hegemonic curriculum …] designed to embody the interests and perspectives of the least advantaged” (p. 139). The ELT class can become an ideal arena to develop a praxis of what Connell (1988) termed curricular justice. This presentation is aimed at exploring how, through socially-committed projects, language educators can contribute to the construction of a more democratic, participatory and equitable society.
