  In Roundtable Session: Narrative Explorations With Diverse Learners

Abstract

This qualitative study takes a narrative approach to inquiring into the lived experiences of linguistically diverse students in South Africa. This study sits at an intersection of many theories and pedagogies. The narratives presented in this research illuminate the socially constructed experiences of the participants as linguistically diverse students. Language, in tandem with social context, place, and systems of belief must be considered when questioning the nature of students’ experiences.
