Resumen

Este artículo reflexivo examina las tendencias emergentes en las perspectivas críticas dentro del campo de la Enseñanza del Idioma Inglés (ELT, por sus siglas en inglés). El artículo comienza proporcionando un breve panorama histórico de las pedagogías críticas en ELT y sus perspectivas en la era post pandémica. Se resalta la necesidad de enfoques críticos que abordan las dinámicas de poder, las desigualdades sociales y las influencias ideológicas. Además, nuevas tendencias implican la integración de aspectos culturales que favorecen la identidad y cultura propias de los estudiantes, así como prácticas bilingües más dinámicas con el fin de promover entornos de aprendizaje de idiomas más inclusivos, socialmente justos, multilingües y transformadores. El artículo concluye dando énfasis a la importancia de la reflexión continua, el desarrollo profesional y la colaboración entre los profesionales de ELT para incorporar perspectivas críticas en el aula de manera efectiva.
