Love and Loss of Land and Language: Reciprocity With the Earth in Language Education

Mon, April 12, 2:50 to 4:20pm EDT (2:50 to 4:20pm EDT), Division G, Division G - Section 3 Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

A conversation has begun among language education scholars on responsibility of the field to connect its work to the social justice question of humans and Earth, as well as how multilingual learners are affected differently by ecological problems. The papers ask: How do vignettes from classrooms illustrate an ecocritical theory of how to teach languages and ecojustice? How is climate migration entering the curriculum and how is that learning enacted in ESL classrooms? How can U.S. teachers engage with indigenous communities and faculty In Mexico to benefit multilingual students? How does examining literal urban gentrification better inform our attempt to de-gentrify bilingual education? How do post-secondary TESOL students respond to ecopedagogy that includes a national park field experience?
