ENGAGING L A N G U A G E DIVERSITY IN THE ACADEMIC ENGLISH CLASSROOM:
A WORKSHOP FOR CUNY COMPOSITION AND ESL FACULTY
Facilitators: Ana Celia Zentella, Professor Emerita Department of Ethnic Studies, University of California, San Diego David E. Kirkland, Associate Professor, Michigan State University
Friday, May 4, 10:30-12:30 Baruch College, CUNY ROOM VC 9145 Limited To 25 Participants RSVP name and school affiliation to: tmccormack@jjay.cuny.edu
In this two-hour workshop, attendees will participate in a series of language games, group activities and workshop discussions that define, invoke and engage the multiple “Englishes” that students bring to the academic writing classroom. e emphasis will be on understanding the power-context in the classrooms where these multiple languages are enacted, and understanding how students’ linguistic diversity should be given space and value, not seen as a language deficit or as something to overcome. Participants will then apply workshop concepts to their own classroom teaching by working on the ways they create assignments and respond to student work from diverse language users.
