A. Read the excerpt from the text and answer the question:
“Decolonization is the process of revealing and dismantling colonialist power in all its forms. This includes dismantling the hidden aspects of those institutional and cultural forces that had maintained the colonialist power and that remain even after political independence is achieved.” (ASHCROFT, et al., 2007, p. 56).
B. Considering this discussion, how could a teacher follow a decolonial approach while teaching English as a Foreign Language?

A By teaching English in a different space (not in a typical classroom) and using North American textbooks.
B By guiding students to develop integrated projects with other subjects and considering only the British or North American English varieties.
C By applying a methodology marked by a hierarchical structure, where students are those who receive knowledge and teachers are those who hold it.
D By rethinking and redesigning methodologies, resources, evaluations, and any other aspects involved in the process while considering the students’ realities.
