Resumen

Este artículo reporta un estudio de caso realizado en un colegio de Bogotá bajo las perspectivas post-estructuralista y constructivista sobre el posicionamiento de género como una construcción social en contextos de aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera (Baxter, 2003; Sunderland, 1992; Tannen, 1996). Con el objetivo de comprender cómo los estudiantes de noveno grado construyen su posicionamiento de género y cómo los discursos de género emergen a través de los debates en el aula, se llevaron a cabo entrevistas y observaciones analizadas a través del enfoque feminista post-estructuralista (FPDA por sus siglas en inglés). Los resultados sugieren que los estudiantes se ven así mismos tanto masculinos como femeninos, haciendo uso de sus intereses y comportamientos como el medio principal para definir su posicionamiento de género discursivamente durante los debates en otra lengua (L2).
