Affordances of descriptive linguistics for gender awareness-raising in pre-service teacher training

Abstract

This paper reports on the implementation of a project on educational innovation which applies descriptive linguistics to raise awareness about gender (in)equality in preservice teacher trainers and pre-service teacher trainees at the University of Salamanca. To fulfil these aims, the project adapts multimodal analysis description to non-linguists, and focuses on the existence of gender (in)equality in multimodal texts.
