Ep186. ft. Jose V Torres - The Ethics of Language Teaching: Power, Access, and Responsibility(Part2)
Can ethical teaching survive inside unequal systems?
In Part 2, we confront the tension between standardized frameworks and human dignity. They discuss the decline in literacy rates, the ethical risks of prioritizing communicative fluency over deep literacy, and the growing concern that digital learning and AI may exclude the most vulnerable learners. Jose shares how he strategically integrates phonics and literacy within restrictive systems, proving that ethical teaching can be a form of resistance.
If education is to be humane before transformative, something must change.
