    Where:
    Description:

    We all come to post-secondary classrooms with different linguistic and academic experiences. However, at most post-secondary institutions in Canada, certain varieties of English are valued more than others. As educators at »Ê¹ÚÌåÓý’s strive to create more inclusive learning experiences, they are encouraged to consider how to best support multilingual students with their academic success. This workshop introduces the concept of linguistic justice, an anti-racist approach towards language instruction that invites educators to critically examine the systems and structures that inhibit multilingual students from thriving academically. Through interactive activities and discussion, participants will deepen their understanding of linguistic justice and explore practical strategies for designing linguistically responsive assessments that honor students’ diverse language backgrounds.

    This event is part of the Teaching Development Conference.
