Abstract

Education is a right for all human beings regardless of their ethnicity, gender and sexual identity, economic status, age, beliefs, and mental or physical capacities. However, research shows that LGBTIQ+ people and their experiences have been traditionally ignored in school curricula, textbooks, and classroom discourse. For this reason, scholars highlight the need to implement inclusive pedagogies in which the rights of LGBTIQ+ people are recognized and respected. This chapter presents a teaching proposal for the integration of LGBTIQ+ issues in the Primary English as a Foreign Language classroom. The tasks are based on the English for Social Purposes and Cooperation Approach, a socially and culturally responsive approach to English language teaching that promotes language learning through topics of social and cultural relevance. Using various learning methodologies, this proposal intends to help students develop their communicative competence and critical thinking, overcome potential misconceptions, improve empathy and awareness, and learn about the reality of LGBTIQ+ people.
