Intercultural Bilingual Education

This article focuses on the triangle of intercultural learning – global learning and development education in which DDV International’s work is situated. It outlines the development of intercultural bilingual education as well as the situation of the indigenous people in Latin America. Some of the indigenous languages are at risk of extinction and with them also the indigenous knowledge attached to it. Once they are lost, intercultural learning through these languages and cultures will not be possible anymore. Drawing on research and some results of the intercultural bilingual education the article highlights the role and importance of intercultural learning, and the potential for empowerment and transformation based on the dialogue between the indigenous and western cultures that occurs in development work.

In Brazil, and more generally, in Latin America, the struggle of the indigenous movements for the demarcation of their ancestral land and the development of an intercultural education contributed to the constitutional changes of the 1980s, which led these states to regard themselves as a multicultural nation and to recognize specific collective rights to native people and tribes living on their territory. This dynamic deals with the scope of a democratic transition and a decentralization process which characterizes a new form of governance of almost all Latin America countries where the indigenous territories and the resources at their disposal can be preserved. By giving the possibility to formulate another vision of the school education based on a dialectic between indigenous knowledge and school knowledge in a sustainable developmental perspective of the indigenous territories, new experiments started to be expanded from the 1990s. This article advances the discussion between globalized and localized educational practices. It enlightens the debate between the homogenization of school systems and other alternatives such as the use of traditional knowledge. It focuses on socio-cultural knowledge and its intersection between formal and informal education. The first section of this paper presents the theoretical framework of my research and its methodology. The second section discusses, in a historical background, how the Brazilian indigenous public policies were implemented. In the third section, I use my fieldwork data to examine and analyze the advent and the development of intercultural bilingual education (IBE) in two regions of Amazonas state (Alto Solimões and Alto Rio Negro) among the Ticuna, Baniwa, and Tukano people during the 1990s and 2000s.

The rapid decline of indigenous languages represents one of the most troubling topics within applied linguistics. Teachers’ implementation of indigenous language planning through their pedagogical practices is a significant but under-researched issue. This ethnographic study examines a Maya language program (i.e., professional development) for 1,600 teachers in the Yucatan’s Intercultural Bilingual Education (EIB) system, and K-12 schools in Maya-speaking communities where they worked. Using longitudinal data (2010-2016), analysis centered on the creation and promulgation of the Norms of Writing for the Maya Language (2014) and related language policy. Findings illustrate: 1) the importance of increasing the quantity of Maya-speaking teachers, and 2) a clash between widespread orthographic variation in Maya and teachers’ standard language-culture. The new standard has not been implemented in EIB, which still does not in practice require Maya proficiency of teachers. This research discusses possible benefits and risks of a standard Maya for EIB.

In this respect we include the notion globalization from below (Appadurai, 2000) a main lens for our argument.

Este trabajo hace referencia a la oportunidad que puede representar la educación intercultural para la resignificación de las identidades de género, etnia y clase. Se reflexiona a partir de la investigación sobre educación realizada en el municipio de San Andrés Larráinzar o Sakamch’en de los Pobres, Chiapas. A partir de los resultados de investigación se argumenta que en el contexto actual en que se está practicando la educación intercultural bilingüe en Chiapas y en el marco de políticas educativas que no son construcciones propias de los pueblos indígenas significan nada más nuevas imposiciones simuladas con los discursos de respeto a la diversidad cultural.   SUMMARY This paper refers to the opportunity that can represent the intercultural education for re-meaning the gender, class and ethnic identities. The work is a reflection from the investigation made in the municipality of San Andrés Larráinzar or Sakamch’en in Chiapas. From the results of investigation is argued that in the present context that the intercultural bilingual education is practicing in Chiapas and in the context of educational policies are not people’s own constructions, mean nothing more new impositions simulated with the speeches of respect for cultural diversity.
