Critical pedagogy (CP) as a philosophy of life helps teachers achieve a better understanding of what teaching really entails and raising awareness fosters reflection regarding our practices in educational settings, starting in the language classroom, exploring on the one hand, what pre-service teachers think and perceive about teaching and learning in the context they are involved in, and on the other hand, how those perceptions might influence their educational practices.</p>}, number={1}, journal={HOW}, author={Samacá Bohórquez, Yolanda}, year={2012}, month={Dec.}, pages={194–208} }
