This book brings together teachers and scholars from the Global South to showcase original frameworks and perspectives on decolonizing English language teaching.The contributors introduce local praxiologies, understood as the knowledges that emerge through critical reflection from teachers' everyday practices. In this sense, praxiologies can also be taken as informed teaching actions, conceived within decolonial frameworks and embedded in practice. The book addresses issues related to the multiple epistemological stances teachers use to open space within formal educational settings to practice global Englishes, contesting traditional standardized instruction. The first three sections are organized by educational level (primary/basic, secondary, and higher education), with each chapter providing examples of pedagogical practices or methodologies, epistemological frameworks, or diverse approaches to policies regarding English language teaching. The final section interrogates the foundational role of language policy in sustaining or dismantling colonial power structures within education systems. Through these chapters, the authors argue that decolonizing language policies extends beyond a theoretical exercise into a material necessity for transforming educational practice.Essential reading for scholars and students interested in decolonial teaching practices, Global South epistemologies, English language teaching, critical language pedagogies, and language policy studies.

In Latin America, and other historically exploited former colonies, people were told to unlearn their language and culture in order to acquire what some privileged voices classify as “valid” or “legitimate” ways of thinking.Throughout history, various teaching approaches and methodologies have emerged, each bringing unique insights to foreign language classrooms all over the world. These methods have played a pivotal role in shaping language pedagogy, enhancing learners' experiences, and fostering communication in an increasingly interconnected world. As societies become aware of the need for cultural inclusivity and equity, educators are recognizing the importance of adopting praxiologies that honor diverse languages and perspectives.In the last couple of years, language educators have seen an unprecedented expansion of discussions related to the questioning of naturalized practices in language education. Nowadays, these questions are the core of language teacher education programs in Latin America. Educators have developed and implemented another way experiencing and assessing language education; one that is not focused on the mere application of predetermined methods and techniques, but that is born from—and sensitive to—the local contexts, and which considers context-dependent struggles, hopes, needs, and agency (or lack thereof). In such a manner, the concept of praxiologies seems to be central, as understood by Paulo Freire as the inseparable connection between action and reflection. In the context of Latin American language education, praxiologies refer to the constant action-reflection that extends beyond the implementation of pre-determined methods and techniques created by those who have never interacted with the local contexts.
