This volume explores the socio-political dynamics, historical
forces, and unequal power relationships which mediate language
ideologies in Mexican higher education settings, shedding light on
the processes by which minority students learn new languages in
postcolonial contexts. Drawing on data from a critical ethnographic
case study of a Mexican university over several years, the book
turns a critical lens on language learning autonomy and the use of
the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) in
postcolonial higher education settings, and advocates for an
approach to the language learning and teaching process which takes
into account minority language learners' cultural heritage and
localized knowledge. Despagne also showcases this approach in the
unique research methodology which underpins the data, integrating
participatory methods such as Interpretative Focus Groups in an
attempt to decolonize research by engaging and involving
participants in the analysis of data. Highlighting the importance
of critical approaches in encouraging the equitable treatment of
diverse cultures and languages and the development of agency in
minority language learners, this book will be key reading for
researchers in sociolinguistics, educational linguistics, applied
linguistics, ethnography of communication, and linguistic
anthropology.
