The so-called multilingual perspective on translanguaging suggests that the core question up for debate is whether languages exist. But the question I am more interested in is how languages and the borders between them come to exist. Spoiler alert: colonialism plays a big part in that.

It’s that time of the year. Mate 🧉 and grading on one side and your 2025 vision board on the other side. Not really into following the Gregorian calendar for my new cycle wishes but I’ll have a few concepts to start with.

This is my Black Friday purchase. To learn about ancestral knowledge, to honor #Indigenous communities, to teach the children I don’t yet have to love and respect those who were here before us and whose language and cosmology is nature itself. I want to learn more. I want to remember. 🌱

Love that! I attended a super interesting session about incorporating indigenous knowledge in world language classes in #ACTFL. We can start with etymology of words that come from indigenous languages.
