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.

It’s possible that one of my favorite sections of our new book Welcome to Teaching Multilingual Learners is protecting their rights. ⚖️
This section is likely more relevant today than it was when we wrote it.

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.
