Workshop

Program Summary

This workshop will engage with the question of what it means to bring students’ identities into the language classroom and how we might work with language teachers to enable them to do so. We will ground our exploration in recent theorizing in applied linguistics that highlights the role of people’s histories of language use, their social identities, and imagined futures in the development of their communicative repertoires. We will then try out a number of practical activities and reflect on implications for language teacher education pedagogy.
