The Engagement of Transnationals in Mexican University Classrooms: Points of Entry toward Recognition among Future English Teachers
Kasun, G. Sue; Hernandez, Tomás; Montiel, Hortensia
Multicultural Perspectives, v22 n1 p37-45 2020
For better or worse, English continues to expand as the commonly shared lingua franca throughout the world. With an increasing movement of transnational students--armed with English and flowing across borders--three university professors discuss their pedagogies and ways of knowing as they engage transnational students inside Mexican university classrooms for future teachers of English. Situated at an interior Mexican public university, each of them explores their unique positioning and the ways they taught transnational students. One is a transnational Mexican-American instructor; another is a researcher of transnationalism historically based in the U.S., and the other co-author is a Mexican national who learned English as a second language and has witnessed the rapidly changing population of students in the interior of Mexico. Toward the aim of improving the way transnationals access and experience formal education, they provide recommendations for improving pedagogy and expanding research.
