Professional development, interculturality, teachers, peaceAbstract
Today's society lives daily accelerated changes in all its spheres produced by information and communication technologies in a world characterized by globalization. The speed of change requires education to remain in continuous reflection to rethink and reconsider its educational work in order to respond appropriately to the new challenges and problems that society is experiencing. In coherence with the challenges caused by changes in daily life, teacher training requires internalizing the interrelation between peace and interculturality, to contribute to the search and consolidation of peace. The objective of the research was to identify and analyze research related to the training of English teachers in interculturality and peace. For this, the Scopus research platform and the Vosviewer software were used. It was found that the articles found do not recognize the importance of training teachers in interculturality and peace for the culture of democracy. It was concluded that it is important for teachers to develop professionally not only in English language proficiency but also in interculturality and education for peace. The intercultural and peace perspective is articulated with a vision of language learning that goes beyond the linguistic form and commits teachers and students to language learning committed to society in a culturally diverse world.
