Read the quote and choose the CORRECT statement that completes the given sentence.


“Throughout this paper I have been arguing that we have to go further than finding ways of improving techniques to create “real life” situations in the classroom. Teachers as decision-makers and agents need to consider the identities that are being (re)constructed by their pedagogical practices and choices. Considering that those identities are being shaped anyway, it is important that teachers become aware of the effects of their actions. One of the possible identities is that of a global citizen: not someone who knows many languages but someone who deals with the conflicts inherent in communicative events made possible by a language that has acquired a global dimension” (GIMENEZ, 2007, p. 27).


According to Gimenez, globalization and the spread of English around the world have posed new challenges to language teachers because:

  • if our purpose is to enable learners to belong to a complex community of discursive practices, then we need to do more than teach for information-exchange, we need to create opportunities for awareness raising in relation to local issues and we need to teach for diversity. But maybe, most important of all, we need to allow our learners to think for themselves, to give way homogeneity and not be afraid of the unknown.
  • these challenges lead to re-conceptualizing the meanings of communication and the purposes of our teaching. The adoption of a grammatical attitude seems to require another look at what we have been doing in our classrooms in terms of methodology and its outcomes.
  • these are some perspectives that are deeply embedded in the notion that our learners live in a world that is undergoing many changes with an unprecedented speed which may diminish their sense of agency. A critical stance towards current methodologies may enable them to take a fresh look at their own reality whilst providing spaces for the expression of their viewpoints around local issues. This is something that may help create new identities as citizens of the world, a world that is deeply united, and it is also connected.
  • teachers of English as a global language are now working within a changing landscape, in which students are not people who want to communicate, but people who are being asked to position themselves ethically. The English language class can be seen as a privileged space to raise awareness about the world around us with all its complexities and to help learners participate in the global dialogue, however imperfect it is.
  • the acknowledgement of the ambiguity inherent in contemporary life is something that teachers do not need to consider. If our ultimate aim is to help our students to communicate, we have to start asking questions (with them) about what exactly we may mean by that and what we, as a collectivity, want to accomplish with it.
