Trans-Gressive Uncertainties In approaching Transgender Learner Experiences in ELT Pre-Service Teacher’s Formation

Methodological Uncertainties of Research in ELT Education II

After teaching for more than 20 years, I have had the worthy opportunity to observe how “we” teachers deal with the power our investiture gives us, sometimes I have made mistakes, and sometimes I have seen how my colleagues have abused their power as well, explicitly talking about the misperception we might have about gender and LGBTQ students. Since I was an undergraduate student, my projects stood by understanding, supporting, and promoting integral development and healthy class environments in LGBTQ school communities.

That interest was aroused after I received hetero-normalized instruction during my school years undergraduate studies at the university. I had to struggle again with the monolithic gender binary conception that frames individuals “as hetero-normal.”. Nevertheless, I studied at a Catholic university, I did my best, and finally, I could base my graduation project on the integral development perspectives homosexual students have in schools.
