Enseñar inglés con perspectiva de género a través de la adaptación de The Wife of Bath

This article presents the design of a teaching proposal for the fourth year of secondary education based on the story of The Wife of Bath as a resource for integrating communicative competence and critical reflection on gender roles. The main objective of this work is to develop a design protocol based on the principles of inclusion, critical literacy and the communicative approach. Methodologically, it describes the context, learning objectives, phased sequencing, materials used and an a priori assessment plan developed using rubrics, questionnaires and a checklist for critical thinking and non-stereotypical representation. The results suggest that this design has potential in the English classroom for promoting reading and literary comprehension, the expression of opinions, and critical analysis of representations of gender roles. Furthermore, this proposal can be adapted to other levels and constitutes a useful tool for promoting meaningful learning oriented towards critical thinking.
