In this episode, co-hosts Shé and Anna sit down with Dr. Lillian Ardell—founder of Language Matters—for a timely and deeply reflective conversation about monolingual bias and how it shapes English language education around the world. youtu.be/U5dWZWp7JQQ #MultilingualEducation #BilingualEducation
Maybe a loaded question for the current climate… What does the #MonolingualBias look like in your classroom or community? In what ways is English or another language given priority over other languages? And how do you show that you value #multilingualism in your classroom practices?
