MOURA, Gustavo  y  MORGAN, Brian. Discipline of Teaching English as an International Language - D-TEIL: perspectives for language teacher education. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.54, pp.177-192.  Epub 22-Sep-2020. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v25i54.143.

The role international practicum placements have in the professional development of language educators is a contentious issue, with not all researchers in agreement that international practica are necessarily natural, neutral, or beneficial, to borrow from Pennycook’s (2007, 2012, 2017) stance on English language teaching internationally. Scholars like Santoro (2007, 2009), for instance, have expressed concern that international practica constitute a little more than a form of educational tourism that is potentially exploitative of the host communities. However, some program developers and researchers acknowledge and prioritize the value-laden and sociopolitical nature of practice teaching abroad and strive to facilitate ethical and critical practices (MORGAN; MARTIN, 2014; MARTIN; MORGAN, 2015, 2019). For that reason, this paper critically analyzes crossing borders with reference to the D-TEIL certificate program. The outcomes of an international practicum experience suggest changes towards considering the multiplicity of knowledge and aim at developing strategies for language teacher education programs towards ethical practices.

Palabras clave : international practicum; English language teaching; ethical practices.
