The Use of the Dialogic Teaching Approach to Promote Communicative Competencies with a Group of Intermediate English Adult Students
Abstract
This essay intends to explore how the use of the Dialogic Teaching Approach enables my
intermediate English adult students to acquire communicative competencies in a globalized
society. Many Costa Ricans have been moved to learn a foreign language for monetary
reasons; however, their intentions should go beyond that. Through dialogue, students can
holistically learn communicative competencies to interact as social agents in different
globalized communities. They are invited to embrace diversity, debate their personal
conflicts, find solutions, and overall, create a better world. I conclude that, through dialectical
methods, students can find a democratic space to decolonize the English language from
globalization, make their voices heard, and make meaning in their daily life activities.
