Abstract
ABSTRACT This article presents a theoretical and methodological approach for transforming teaching education toward plurilingualism. We analyzed data from a formative intervention, based on a sociocultural-based teacher education approach. By using the models of reflective practice and double stimulation, we supported 10 language teachers to reconceptualize their practice into more plurilingual models. Findings show how the process of transformation toward plurilingualism takes place through three cognitive moves that teachers come up with to resolve contradictions. We conclude that sociocultural-based teacher education models can play an important role in supporting teachers reconceptualize their practices and thus, allow for professional development.
期刊介绍:
Mind, Culture, and Activity (MCA) is an interdisciplinary, international journal devoted to the study of the human mind in its cultural and historical contexts. Articles appearing in MCA draw upon research and theory in a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, cognitive science, education, linguistics, psychology, and sociology. Particular emphasis is placed upon research that seeks to resolve methodological problems associated with the analysis of human action in everyday activities and theoretical approaches that place culture and activity at the center of attempts to understand human nature.
