Interrogating Reading Policies and Practices for Emergent Bilinguals in Changing Political and Instructional Contexts

Thu, April 24, 9:50 to 11:20am MDT (9:50 to 11:20am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 705

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The debate on how reading is taught in schools has taken the country by storm. Decisions about reading instruction and pedagogy are being discussed at the classroom, school, district, and state levels. Throughout these shifts, emergent bilinguals’ (EBs) identities and resources have been consistently overlooked. This session's objective is to explore how educators can advocate for and design equitable reading instructional policies and practices for EBs. The studies featured in this session employ theories of translanguaging, raciolinguistic ideologies, and a critical translingual lens to examine the power dynamics within reading instructional experiences and curricula for EBs within the field of bilingual education and beyond.
