Towards a new linguistic citizenship: action research for the recognition and equal participation of speakers in the educational field of the Community of Madrid

The project “Towards a new linguistic citizenship: action research for the recognition and equal participation of speakers in the educational field of the Community of Madrid” (reference PID2019-105676RB-C41) seeks to explore linguistic diversity and multilingualism in the Madrid university context, especially at the Autonomous and Complutense University of Madrid.

 

With this, the project aims to: 

 

  • Better understand what role language plays in creating or justifying social inequalities or exclusion.

 

  • Contribute to greater sociolinguistic justice, proposing transformative actions that promote the equality of languages ​​and the recognition and equal participation of all speakers, regardless of their language, variety or accent.

 

  • Generate tools for reflection and pedagogical transformation to support and enhance this sociolinguistic justice in the university community.

 

  • Produce an open access research report and language-sensitive teaching recommendations for policy makers, teacher educators, and pedagogical consultants to drive change beyond the university community.
