De los debates globales a las practicas locales: pedagogias emergentes para el fomento de la interculturalidad en el aula de espanol para adultos migrantes

Recent theoretical debates in the field of intercultural language education reveal a cosmopolitan turn, which implies a glocal, critical, and transformative perspective of interculturality as praxis. This article explores the promotion and development of interculturality from a critical cosmopolitan perspective and reports on the results of an empirical study carried out in a Spanish language classroom for adult migrants in Barcelona through a didactic intervention based on emergent pedagogies. The results enrich the conception of a cosmopolitan agenda for language teaching and contribute to bridging the methodological gap between global theoretical debates and local practices of intercultural language education.
