摘要：Twenty years after the implementation of The Intercultural Bilingual Education
Program (IBEP) in Chile, the country still does not have a systematic body of research
to address the challenges involved in teaching indigenous languages in schools. In this
essay, I review a number of sociolinguistic studies about the situation of indigenous
languages in Chile, along with studies and analysis about the IBEP. I present a systematic
and critical review of three aspects that are relevant to the teaching of indigenous
languages in the IBEP: (a) the contexts in which these programs are implemented, (b)
indigenous language teaching methodologies, and (c) teacher and indigenous teacher
aids partnership. I discuss the gaps and inconsistencies in the academic debate, which
rather than representing divergent theoretical position, illustrate the lack of attention
to the bilingual component of the program, as well as the absence of dialogue among
scholars interested in this type of policy. I argue that the lack of attention to these
three aspects has limited our understanding of the challenges and opportunities the
IBEP presents for the teaching of indigenous languages in schools. I conclude by
suggesting possible lines of research.
