I am an educator and researcher. I study the relationship between language and society in the context of schools. I started my journey in education as an English as a Foreign/Second Language teacher and have worked with bilingual learners in Costa Rica and the United States. Now, I am a college professor. I prepare prospective educators and support in-service teachers to create socially-just, linguistically sustaining classrooms. Language and Ponder is a space to debunk notions of linguistic and cultural deficit and to explore avenues for linguistic justice. It is a space to examine the links between language and power, and to weigh on what those dynamics mean for our advocacy and teaching praxis. This is a space for reflection, solidarity and transformation. Bienvenidos. https://languageandponder.com/syllabi daily 0.75 2020-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea83a3623c5064148a55fe3/1593097389382-0HQS9ZY0VYGZSPYT9M00/AdobeStock_84436245.jpeg Syllabi - Virtual Learning Journey Journey through a curated selection of resources publicly available online that portray the experiences of bilingual learners, families, and teachers in their every day lives at school.
