- Abstract
In this article, we propose an approximation between the concepts of Critical Literacy and Utopia as a theoretical-methodological possibility for pedagogical practices in the context of language education, with an emphasis on materials development and open online courses for the teaching of additional languages. The text is organized as follows: at first, we situate the study in the field of Critical Applied Linguistics, while dealing with some concepts necessary to understand the investigation; secondly, we discuss alternative conceptions of scientific research, evoking the notions of Southern Epistemologies and Narrative Literature Review; lastly, we present the final considerations of the present study. The results demonstrate that it is possible to outline, by way of transgression, a theoretical-methodological proposal that seeks to break with the well-known dichotomy between theory and practice, associating these categories with the development of language teaching committed not only to the problematization of languages and technologies for denouncing a dehumanizing structure, but also for building another possible world. This approach, which we have agreed to designate as Critical Literacy for Utopia, can be used in materials development and open online courses for the teaching of additional languages, for which we are especially interested in this investigation.
