Argument :

In the field of language teaching imbued by colonial perspectives that affirm social segregation, exclude and silence underprivileged voices, shape consciousness to maintain social inequalities sponsored by colonising mechanisms that produce and normalise exclusion of the others, we enter into constant reflection and questioning about our critical-reflective role in the field of language teaching and its fundamental transformative contributions to the development of contemporary learners. Based on Decolonial studies in Applied Linguistics, the objective of this communication is to discuss and problematise theoretical-methodological perspectives for the use of didactic materials in English as a second language for application in the classroom, considering the possible relationships between decolonial conceptions and teaching-learning. In this direction, we address theoretical aspects of the Social-Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (TASHC) (VYGOSTSKY, 1934/2001; LEONTIEV, 1997; ENGESTRÖM, 1999), Applied Linguistics of Resistance (TANZI NETO, 2021), Decoloniality (WALSH, 2019; SANTOS, 2021; PENNYCOOK; MAKONI, 2020), Necropolitics (MBEMBE, 2011) and Necroeducation (LIBERALI, 2021). The methodological basis is the Critical Collaborative Research (PCCol) developed by Magalhães (2007; 2014) whose critical-interventionist basis finds its working method in collaboration. With preliminary results, we present possibilities for the analysis and production of contemporary teaching materials.
