Delivered by Plenary Lecture at the just concluded American Association for Applied Linguistics Conference in Chicago. Deeply honoured and humbled by the opportunity to share my thoughts on De-centering Language in Applied Linguistics.
now in an issue and always open access: how deficit thinking about language gets designed into school discipline policies, and how deviations from ideologies of normative speech get encoded as imagined signs of misbehaviour. https://t.co/qGt9AKHl3L
What happens when students take #decolonising work beyond the classroom? ๐ In a Philippine university, undergrads tasked with promoting #multilingualism co-constructed a powerful countertext, linking language to identity, equity & local knowledges. Abs.=Tagalog.
How can classrooms become spaces of resistance? This Language Awareness special issue spotlights teachers & learners who use language, texts, and countertexts to challenge racism, colonial legacies, and deficit views of multilingual learners. Abs.=Filipino
Was interviewed by Daniel Midgley for a Spotify podcast on Unequal Englishes. My part begins at 1:50.
"There are lots of Englishes out there, but the way we approach varieties of English sets learners up to fail."
