Abstract

Language Education in Multilingual Colombia is an important volume that brings together expertise from a number of scholars around four key topics: 1. Creole and Indigenous Languages in Colombia; 2. Language Education Policy: Discourses, ideologies and local practices; 3. Interculturality and Pedagogy; 4. Reimagining Teacher Education: Taking account of diversities and inequalities. Each of these topics is addressed in a distinct section representing an area of research that has engaged with questions of language education and multilingualism in Colombia. Each section begins with an introduction from an international scholar with ongoing links to the Colombian context, these mini-discussions help to put a sense of dialogue at the very heart of the volume; the most powerful of which is created between these four lines of research that have existed all but independently of each other and which allows the volume to grapple with the unresolved question of the status of English and English language teaching within Colombia’s multilingualism.
