Learner Narratives of Immigrant Women in California

Speaker: Menard-Warwick, Julia

Saturday
10:45 AM - 11:40 AM
Language: English
This paper examines the pedagogical implications of paying attention to learner experiences and identities as interpreted by the learners themselves. Narratives told by immigrant women enrolled in a California ESL program reveal perspectives on language learning and social positioning that can inform culturally-responsive curriculum development and classroom practice.
