Meine Cookie EinstellungenThis talk examines the role of English in education through a decolonial lens. The participants will engage with the existing debate on the use of English as a medium of instruction both in postcolonial contexts in the Global South and, increasingly, across Europe. In doing so, they will be encouraged to reflect on how language ideologies and policies contribute to maintaining and reproducing unequal power relations and perpetuating social injustices. The talk will conclude by exploring strategies to balance the drive for English-Medium Instruction with the right to preserve and promote local languages and cultures in education.
