Join Marie and Jean this summer to explore the complex ways in which English language teaching is related to power, race, and privilege. In her book, Race, Empire, and English Language Teaching: Creating Responsible and Ethical Anti-racist Practice, Suhanthie Motha “provides innovative ideas about ways to implement interventions and teaching strategies that will enable students to maintain their cultural identity and linguistic pride while learning English.” Over the course of this book club, participants will:
-
- engage in conversation about how to review current practices and identify what they are already doing to create a responsible and ethical anti-racist practice as an instructor.
- reflect on the ways that race, language, and power are interrelated, especially in the context of English
- plan to implement teaching strategies that will enable students to maintain their cultural identity and linguistic pride while expressing themselves in English
