PRESENTATION
Recent times have been characterized by crises and disruptions caused by global pandemics, inner and cross-national conflicts, and local movements stemming from historical discordances rooted in social inequality. These disruptions bear the imprint of a burgeoning political, cultural, racial, ethnic and gender awareness, as well as the concern towards the appreciation of linguistic diversity. Language, art and social manifestations serve the purpose of expression and agency for the required transformations.
Under these circumstances, the School of Language Sciences, the Master's Degree in Interlinguistic and Intercultural Studies, and the Interinstitutional Doctorate in Education from Universidad del Valle are pleased to invite you to the Third International Symposium on Interlinguistic and Intercultural Contacts: “Disruptions, dialogues and social, interlinguistic and intercultural agency”, which will be held from November 10th to 12th in virtual modality. The Symposium provides space to share and reflect on research and pedagogical experiences about intercultural communication and interlinguistic contacts in diverse contexts, and various communal practices that transform the traditionally oppressive social realities.
The Symposium gathers the national and international academic community and communal workgroups around issues concerning multilingualism, language policies, translation/interpretation and terminology, and language development and teaching processes from an intercultural perspective, engaged with social justice.

Hacia una educación plurilingüe y pluriletrada.
Una revisión en el marco de las políticas educativas hacia la comunidad sorda que se llevan
a cabo en Colombia y Uruguay
El taller propone un espacio de intercambio entre sus diversos participantes en torno a la educación de los sordos y a las políticas lingüísticas que se llevan adelante en Colombia y Uruguay. Para la realización de este intercambio, se presentarán y discutirán, por un lado, los conceptos: escritura, grabación, textualidad diferida, cultura letrada y plurilingüismo. Por otro lado, se analizarán los procesos metodológicos que se han llevado adelante en ambos países en relación a la educación de los sordos y a la enseñanza de lengua; así como también las políticas lingüísticas que se desprenden de ambas legislaciones.

Bringing critical interculturality
to life in the ELT classroom
Aproximaciones a las modalidades direccionadas por diferencias individuales
e interculturales en el texto argumentativo
Many Colombian scholars have shifted their attention to the decolonial turn as a line of thought that can enrich the field of English Language Learning and Teaching in the country. Within the decolonial turn, the concept of Critical Interculturality, proposed by Walsh (2005, 2009), has emerged as key in disrupting common language teaching practices. This six-hour workshop aims to share some ideas about how different pedagogies, methodologies, and tasks can be articulated with the purpose of translating decolonial theory into classroom practices. The sessions also have as purpose showing language educators that many of the activities that they implement in classes can be made critical and decolonial, or even better, that they are already of this kind.
Esta propuesta de taller busca brindar a los asistentes herramientas teóricas y prácticas en torno al análisis de las modalidades, en términos lingüístico-discursivos, reconociendo el papel de las diferencias individuales e interculturales en el texto argumentativo escrito, entendiendo la escritura como práctica social. Los conceptos aplicados en este taller servirán de insumo a los asistentes para fortalecer su praxis pedagógica, particularmente el análisis escritural en el aula de clase, reconociendo cómo el autor del texto valida o invalida las representaciones de las realidades desde lo objetivo, lo subjetivo, lo institucional y lo moral. Igualmente, estos procesos de reflexión pueden motivar ejercicios de investigación en el quehacer docente.
Approche biographique et
création multimodale
Muriel Molinié
Cet atelier comporte trois volets: 1- Acquérir une culture professionnelle dans le domaine : nous survolerons les théories qui fondent l’approche sociobiographique en DDL, laquelle parait désormais incontournable pour accompagner la reconnaissance du plurilinguisme individuel, familial et social dans la communauté éducative. 2- S’approprier une démarche de création multimodale : l’approche sociobiographique repose sur des pratiques plurielles et pluri-artistiques auxquelles chacun pourra s’initier en survolant les contenus du MOOC Comprendre les dimensions interculturelles au quotidien. Chacun sera invité à esquisser son propre projet d’œuvre sociobiographique sur le thème : comment suis-je devenu/e enseignant/e ? plurilingue ? via quelles rencontres et expériences interculturelles ? 3- Contextualiser : après avoir discuté des projets qui mettent en œuvre l’approche sociobiographique, chacun sera invité à esquisser d’autres transpositions didactiques de cette approche, en contexte.
