Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to discuss teachers’ perspectives on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the teaching of English to young learners (TEYL). We focused on one specific question (from a 10-question online questionnaire) in which participants shared their thoughts, experiences and concerns about TEYL in pandemic times. The answers were analyzed in a qualitative perspective, based on critical literacy research and studies in the field of TEYL. The results indicate the participants’ exhaustion due to dealing with unusual situations, and teaching focused exclusively on content in an attempt to show how teachers are reinventing themselves despite uncertainties and lack of training. The present moment requires reflections about goals and expectations in TEYL and in teacher education.

重新思考大流行时期(及之后)儿童批判性语言教育和教师教育

本文旨在探讨教师对新冠肺炎疫情对少儿英语教学的影响。我们重点关注了一个具体问题(来自10个问题的在线问卷)，参与者在其中分享了他们在大流行时期对TEYL的想法、经验和担忧。基于批判性读写研究和TEYL领域的研究，从定性的角度对答案进行了分析。结果表明，参与者因处理异常情况而疲惫不堪，教学专注于内容，试图展示教师如何在不确定和缺乏培训的情况下重塑自我。当下需要反思TEYL和教师教育的目标和期望。
