Abstract

Abstract There has been a rapid global expansion of English instruction in the early grades in public school curricula. Particularly in so-called developing countries, the increase of and its shift from exclusively private to public education is linked to the idea that acquiring English promotes personal, social, and economic development. The author takes one case of a recent early English program, the national program in Mexico, and argues that it is a representative case of a language education programme and policy organized around neoliberal principles. The policy’s stated goal is to address issues of access and equity for public school students; however, findings indicate that the actual processes of teaching and learning at the classroom level remain highly stratified across social class lines. An analysis of English lessons in schools at different points on the socioeconomic spectrum illustrates that instruction is preparing children with certain types of skills and dispositions congruent to their class position and revealing the hidden curriculum of work in early English education.
英语语言教育中的隐性工作课程
摘要公立学校课程中早期英语教学在全球范围内迅速扩展。特别是在所谓的发展中国家,私立教育的增加及其从私立教育向公立教育的转变与学习英语促进个人、社会和经济发展的理念有关。作者以最近的早期英语项目墨西哥国家项目为例,认为这是围绕新自由主义原则组织的语言教育项目和政策的一个代表性案例。该政策的既定目标是解决公立学校学生的入学机会和公平问题;然而,研究结果表明,课堂层面的实际教学过程在社会阶层之间仍然存在高度分层。对不同社会经济阶层学校英语课程的分析表明,教学是为孩子们培养符合其阶级地位的某些类型的技能和性格,并揭示早期英语教育中隐藏的工作课程。
