Abstract

A sociological approach is put forward for the analysis of race and language in the development of Language Teaching programs. Such an approach uses Pierre Bordieu's concepts of habitus and social fields, within which race and language are framed as changing elements in the education and pedagogical shift, and are —at the same time— subject to teachers and students' agency. This approach suggests that language education policy needs to focus not only on the change and development of every individual, but also on a systematical change in the social fields of the curriculum.
