“But which one’s right?” Teaching Language Variations with a Difference Model
5/8/2024 - 5/8/2024

Despite decades of research showing that no variety of English is better or worse than any other, the concept of a "correct" English and a "broken" English (aka the deficit model) continues to crop up in materials and curricula. In this webinar, the presenters will summarize the pedagogical implications of "Standard language ideology is alive and well in public speaking textbooks" (Cuba & Slocum 2020), and present practical ways to teach the difference model to English Language Learners.

This event will be hosted by our Anti-Racist Action SIG who can be reached at ara@nystesol.org

ZOOM LINK WILL BE EMAILED TO REGISTRANTS THE DAY BEFORE AND DAY OF THE EVENT.
Location: ZOOM LINK WILL BE SENT TO YOU VIA THE EMAIL YOU SUBMITTED FOR REGISTRATION

For this series of webinars, participants will engage in an interactive discussion on current and relevant publications in our field. In this first session, we will discuss Share's (2021) piece, "Is the Science of Reading just the Science of Reading English?" published in Reading Research Quarterly. In our discussion, we will consider points of intersection between Science of Reading and ELs. Those interested will be sent the article upon registration. The goal is to create a space where teacher educators can engage with research literature related to the academic success of MLLs in school.
