Resumen
The misrepresentation of women in the EFL classroom perpetuates gender stereotypes which, in turn, result in gender-based violence. This is a worldwide problem which excludes a portion of students from being motivated when learning English. On the other hand, the mis- and under-representation of members of the LGBTQ+ community in this setting makes some individuals be fearful or aggressive towards them due to a lack of understanding. In this article a solution for this representation problem is provided, consisting in the use of an inclusive co-education pedagogy, that is, teaching English while transversally teaching about different real-world issues such as sexism, racism and homo/transphobia.
