ABOUT THE VIRTUAL EVENT
As writing teachers, we must continuously respond to the social realities in our communities and be prepared to challenge linguistic inequities and injustices both in academic contexts and in the local community….
Through a translingual literacy lens, we will explore the following questions: 1. how can we move away from language separation ideologies, which often prevent us from transferring our linguistic abilities to other contexts, in order to truly embrace our language resources as a whole? 2. what power dynamics do we encounter when we challenge linguistic standards, especially in classes or contexts where linguistic inclusivity may not be valued? And 3. how can we challenge “language correctness” or standard language expectations, especially when “standard language” expectations do not align with the goals and objectives of the context or purpose of a task? Ultimately, we will think about these questions as we consider translingual literacy strategies as tools for 1. reflecting on our own language ideologies and biases in English studies and 2. designing linguistically inclusive spaces for teaching and learning responsive to the linguistic realities and writing goals of our students. By embracing our students’ and our own full linguistic repertoires, we can collectively engage in meaningful impact within and beyond academic contexts.
