El proyecto FEM-CELL: Círculos autogestivos de mujeres para el aprendizaje de la lengua inglesa - [The FEM-CELL project: female peer-led circles for English language learning]

Abstract

- The FEM-CELL project is an innovative proposal for the creation of female peer-led circles focused on English language learning. The work presented here reports the first results after implementing the programme in a six-month pilot phase in both Mexico and Colombia. In this sense, the results point out the weaknesses and strengths of this voluntary and free programme, but also lay the foundations of a theoretical framework that critical pedagogies such as popular, decolonising and feminist pedagogies contribute to the proposal. Finally, the results mention the adaptations that should be promoted to guarantee the achievement of learning objectives and the personal development of the participants. At the end of the first pilot stage, the project will be able to scale up in a second stage.
