Translanguaging sparks debates. But, we can"...have a bias towards the minority language to establish greater equality between languages because immersion classrooms often aim to redress linguistic inequalities in the wider society (p. 47)." https://t.co/N5xtf6X3r9

On this day in 2007, a Georgia high school held its first integrated prom. White parents still held a private, white-only prom and some barred their children from attending the integrated prom. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/huKFbZZmST

Did You Know: Employees who speak more than one language typically earn more than those who don’t?

Multilingualism is not only good for student success, it’s also good for the economy.

Research states we must “give students access to the one activity that has been proven over and over again to increase their language acquisition and competence as communicators: again, free, voluntary reading” (Miller, 2009, p. 51).
