Let’s start up something! Let’s build pride in being bilingual. Let’s let young students know how important their languages are and how smart they are for being able to communicate in many ways!

I believe in acculturation versus assimilation because I’m not afraid of your differences and ideas. I love your uniqueness and value the perspective you bring. I want you to know that you belong.

This is an important time to stand up for language education. Teachers of multilingual learners, or English learners, in our nation are important. Every teacher is a language teacher, and every student is a language learner. Language is in every classroom.

What systems are in place to ensure that emergent bilingual students participating in any program (even ESL) don’t pay the ultimate price for English language acquisition?
First language is a valuable, beautiful asset.

Accommodating instruction doesn’t have to be complicated. Even the small moves we make can impact students in big ways.

Because of all the bureaucracy and external pressure, being an educator of multilingual learners can feel overwhelming.
Staying focused on the students and what they need helps us to accomplish our goals as their teachers.

Whether it’s a 1st or 3rd language, we each travel through phases as we develop language. Full proficiency can take 5- 7 years and many factors influence the time required.This is a graphic from Welcome to Teaching Multilingual Learners.

Bilingualism is more than knowing more words or speaking two #languages.
It’s the ability to think in new ways, connect and interact with a greater variety of cultures, and even navigate the world through a broader spectrum.
Let’s shine a spotlight on the beauty & gifts of #bilingualism.

Don’t doubt yourself. Don’t let fear hold you back.
On the other side of fear is courage. Grab hold of that courage and go.
You are capable.

It is VITAL we protect the languages students know, hear, understand, speak. These are leverages to acquiring other languages.
Ignoring languages limits students’ participation & also endangers confidence & identity increasing language loss.
Linguistic oppression has devastating consequences.
