Teachers’ Reflexivity Around Linguistic Diversity: The Mediating Role of Language Ideologies on Practice

Thu, November 30, 3:00 to 4:30pm, Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina, Floor: Second Floor, Meeting Room 4

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

The papers in this session build on a common interest in the role of language ideologies in shaping educational practice by exploring teachers’ reflection on beliefs about connections between language, identity, and literacy education. Collectively, papers examine how teachers’ (enrolled in courses at three geographically distinct universities) written reflections on experiences and positionalities can illuminate ideologies and disrupt deficit perspectives surrounding culturally and linguistically diverse students’ institutional and individual positioning across educational contexts.
