Centering Multilingual Learners and Countering Raciolinguistic Ideologies in Teacher Education: Principles, Policies and Practices


Add your own review!

Overview

This book details a three-year, multi-stranded study of teacher education programs that prepare future teachers to work with multilingual learners. The book examines how racism and linguicism collaborate to shape the conditions under which teacher candidates learn how to teach. The analysis traces dynamic shifts in thinking and practice as participants reflected on their personal, professional and academic experiences in relation to formal curriculum and assessment policies to interpret what it means to work with multilingual learners in the classroom. The book offers guiding principles - above all, learning from multilingual learners, not only about them - and presents a suite of teacher-education practices to disrupt the interplay of language and race that so deeply shapes teacher-candidate learning about multilingual learners.

This book provides an essential and timely contribution to the field of multilingual teacher education. Drawing on the concept of raciolinguicized subjectivities and situated within the sociopolitical and policy shifts of Ontario, Canada, this study of a teacher education program has much to offer to researchers and teacher educators. * Manka Varghese, University of Washington, USA * An example of carefully, collaboratively conducted critical research, this book is realistic as well as encouraging, precise as well as broad, situated as well as expansive, and formulated into an accessible, yet deeply intellectual narrative that is poised to move our field toward truly disrupting the inequitable, racist, and linguistic status quo. A must-read for every current and future teacher educator. * Kara Mitchell Viesca, University of Nebraska Lincoln, USA * Based on an extensive empirical study in Ontario, Canada, this impressive work provides sound insights into how racial structures inscribed in official language policies are reflected in teacher education. The conclusion for practicians to counter racism by putting multilingual learners and their experiences with language and learning right at the center of pedagogic moves is most convincing. * Yasemin Karakaşoğlu, University of Bremen, Germany *
