Meeting Description:

Our fast-changing world has been experiencing social challenges that seem to
be away from classrooms, even though they still affect our students and us as
we coexist in the same society. Since the previous version of this conference
explored current research conducted in the field of language learning and
teaching in the Southern Hemisphere, this second version of the event will
focus on teachers, students, and the act of teaching as agents of change in
what is known as the ‘Developing World’ 

According to Paulo Freire, “education is not neutral”, so we as teachers
cannot continue pretending our performance is not a political one. Indeed,
Chile has had several demonstrations and protests from learning communities
(2005, 2006, and 2011 were the largest; students have continued their fight
until today), whose main demands were included in the new constitution
proposal (which was voted against on September 4th). Other countries in our
region have also experienced these massive protests, like Colombia (2011 and
2018), Brazil (2013), Nicaragua (2018), and Mexico (2012). If we expand our
scope, then we can find similar protests in South Africa (2015), Iraq,
Lebanon, and Mauritius (2019), and Turkey (2021). However, these events are
part of a larger social unrest that each country has had to deal with, usually
resulting in even larger protests as most demands are not met. That is why
this conference will continue examining learning and teaching practices of
languages in the Southern Hemisphere and the ‘Developing World’, but this time
we are adding the ever-present political dimension that our practices have.
