The Impact of Language Ideologies in Schools
Fine, Caitlin G.; Strong, Kimberly; Palmer, Deborah
Educational Leadership, v77 n4 p58-65 Dec 2019-Jan 2020
Language ideologies--the way our ideas about language and accent both reflect and are informed by our ideas about people and society--influence us in subtle, often subconscious ways. They can shape classroom practices and potentially create barriers to student learning. In this article, learn about two especially harmful language ideologies that affect how we view students: language standardization and alingualism. The authors share a number of strategies to support educators as they facilitate conversations with colleagues about language ideologies within school contexts.
