La alfabetización afectiva en la enseñanza de lenguas: la voz de los adultos migrantes

Autores/as

Resumen

Los adultos en contexto de migración necesitan aprender la lengua de su país de acogida para integrarse y convertirse en miembros activos de dicha sociedad. En este artículo, de corte teórico, exploro el concepto de alfabetización afectiva entendido en su sentido más amplio como el impacto que tiene la lectura en la lengua del país de acogida en la vida de las personas adultas multiculturales que han migrado. El objetivo central es el de reflexionar sobre el proceso lector como elemento clave de una educación transformadora. Para ello, abogo por la enseñanza de una lengua adicional que incorpora las voces de las personas adultas lingüística y culturalmente diversas para que construyamos significados que fusionen nuestras culturas. En nuestra sociedad multicultural y multimodal, la enseñanza de la lengua local a adultos migrantes puede mejorar al atender aspectos afectivos, como muestran los estudios sobre alfabetización afectiva y su aplicación en las aulas.
