Abstract

A summary of the book Linguistic Imperialism, by Phillipson (1992) 2 is presented here. The purpose is to highlight its current scope and permanent values in consonance with intuitions, criticism and alternatives proposed by Latin America Modernity/coloniality Group. Criteria of analysis are based on a re-reading of the work in the light of the decolonial perspective, with the aim of proposing pedagogical insights which guide language and literature teachers in approaching their study contents with a critical vision. The idea is to remark the role of English Language Teaching for the maintenance of power structures and for its potential for creating new epistemological approaches to language teaching and learning. An epistemological turnaround in the linguistic formation of future educational personnel is a must for that end.

从拉丁美洲去殖民化的角度重新审视菲利普森的语言帝国主义

本文对菲利普森(1992)出版的《语言帝国主义》一书进行了总结。目的是突出其当前的范围和永恒的价值，与拉丁美洲现代性/殖民集团提出的直觉、批评和替代方案保持一致。分析标准是基于在非殖民化视角下对作品的重新阅读，目的是提出教学见解，指导语言和文学教师以批判的眼光接近他们的研究内容。这个想法是为了说明英语语言教学在维护权力结构方面的作用，以及它在创造语言教学和学习的新认识论方法方面的潜力。为此，未来教育人才语言形成的认识论转变是必须的。
