VERY good advice from polyglot Steve Kaufman: "You will often feel that you are struggling, when in fact you are communicating quite successfully … Do not think that your grammar and pronunciation are being judged ... your listeners want to understand you." (pp. 128-9).

I used to try to convince teachers to use ML-friendly strategies.

Now I co-scaffold documents w/ colleagues.

THIS HAS CHANGED MY PRACTICE.

Making sure our new starters with no English have a voice and are welcomed by having some survival phrases in their #homelanguages along with visuals to help them express their needs and feelings in the classroom. #alllanguagesmatter #multilingual #eal #esl #translanguaging

Thursday Thoughts- people do not have a “broken language”… let’s try saying they are “developing language”. Being #multilingual is an asset, let’s make people believe that 😊⁦@emilyfranESL⁩ #wordsmatter #D25ML
