John Dewey, English Language Teaching, Communicative approach, Teacher trainingAbstract
In the present article, the autor identifies the main main ideas in John Dewey's educational philosophy, such as the learning experiences, the social construction of language as well as the relevance of active experimentation as part of the learning process to foster empowering and participatory attitudes for life. Despite the loose and biased interpretations in Argentina, the notions of pragmatic-experimentation were valued and implemented in institutions closer to the private education. Bilingual and private language schools have been foregoers in the use of English language teaching (EFL) methodologies within the Communicative Apporach, which are derived from social constructivisom, as proposed by Jerome Bruner, and Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), by M.A.K. Halliday, as well as fostering socio-pragmatic competence for multicultural interaction. As a contribution to the curriculum design in 1994-1995, 2007 y 2018, the communicative approach became the prescribed metoholodology for teaching EFL in all levels of education, including initial teacher training programs, as required in curriculum design for terciary level in Buenos Aires Province, 1999 and 2017.Downloads
