The questionnaire presents experiences drawn from previous ethnographic work that cover situations of misrecognition and unequal distribution of linguistic resources among speakers of minority languages, varieties of Spanish, and the presence of English at Spanish universities. For each critical incident, participant students were presented with multiple-choice answers that suggested possible reactions or opinions, offering different alternatives of agency. The questionnaire of sociolinguistic critical incidents served three main goals: To ask participants to react to lived situations of inequality, to trigger reflection on the agency of speakers, and to assess the impact of the project’s interventions.
