Classroom application. Case study: Imagine you are a teacher who is conducting an EFL lesson at secondary school with 11 graders. There is given a text about “Family”, and it includes how families are formed and relationships, members of the family and so on. You asked your learners to read the text and then try to describe their dream family. AND the problem is that there is two pupils who are from LGBT community. How would you handle the classroom not offending all identities to participate and express their ideas. What would you do differently? Think about 2 mins and come up with possible solution that you can do in this situation as a teacher..

Applying only heteronormative discourses in ESL/EFL classrooms can be problematic because of the possibly negative impacts on language acquisition processes. That is, it can serve to silence or alienate both teachers and students whose self-identity are members of the LGBT communities. Therefore, queering the ESL/EFL classroom can be one way to help redress these concerns and to create a more welcoming environment – one that is conducive to navigating the complexities of language learning and identity-related issues in a foreign/second language and/or national context..
