Rassismuskritische Lehrwerkanalyse in den fremdsprachlichen Fächern: Impulse und handlungsleitende Orientierungen

<eg:p>Racism is a structural component of our society, and as Broden and Mecheril state, “racism educates.” As ‘guardians of cultural meaning’, textbooks have an integral part in this education. Starting from these assumptions, we identify and map out implications for anti-racist textbook analysis as a field of research-based teacher education in the foreign languages, hoping to stimulate racism-critical work on textbooks in teacher education. We will give an overview of anti-racist textbook analyses in foreign language education, educational sciences and other pedagogical fields, showing theoretical frameworks and research methodologies employed. Against this backdrop, we present approaches to anti-racist textbook analysis as well as specific methodologies. With Critical Discourse Analysis as our umbrella concept, we develop guiding principles for anti-racist textbook analysis, which we regard as a cornerstone of critical foreign language teacher education. We will illustrate these principles and methodologies with examples from a Spanish and an English textbook.</eg:p>
