Asset-Based Approaches for Educating Multilingual Learners

Sep 24, 2021 12:30 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)


Multilingual learners are arguably this nation's biggest asset. And school
districts across the U.S. have had success creating communities that begin
with students' existing linguistic and content knowledge, using it as a
resource in authentic learning tasks that promote cultural flexibility and
prepare students for effective participation in global contexts.

But there still exists a disconnect between our discourse and our reality.
Our current policy landscape labels students as what they do not possess
(i.e. English language learners). Meanwhile, the demand for multilingual
employees and services continues to outpace our supply.

How can we replicate an asset-based culture for multilinguals across this
country that is both equitable and progressive?

Join Dr. Eugene García, Dr. Ester de Jong, Gabriela Uro, and Dr. Joel Gómez
from the Center for Applied Linguistics as they discuss this question and
consider asset-based approaches for educating multilingual learners.
