Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In Canada, many English as a second language (ESL) teachers work with linguistically, culturally, and racially diverse student populations. Increased ethnic and racial diversity and shifts in the linguistic landscape in the classroom indicate a great need for pedagogical frameworks that account for learners’ linguistic and cultural diversity. In Canadian initial teacher education (ITE) programs, this is often done by introducing teachers to the concept of plurilingualism. However, ESL teachers today work within a system that reinforces and reproduces oppressive language ideologies, such as monolingual ideologies and deficit-oriented perspectives toward language use. As such, for language teacher educators, actively working on identifying and deconstructing these underlying ideologies is essential to realize systemic pedagogical change. In this article, we present an arts-based multiliteracies project developed in an ITE language course to raise future ESL teachers’ critical language awareness (CLA) about plurilingualism, their linguistic repertoire, and ideologies about language learning. Centring the intersection of language and race, we begin by examining how this informs teaching ESL in Canada. Next, we examine both the notion of plurilingualism and results from ITE research on teachers’ beliefs about using plurilingualism in their practice. We then introduce our conceptual framework, rooted in raciolinguistics and arts-based methodologies, developed to elicit and examine future teachers’ beliefs. Our guiding research question was the following: Accounting for novice ESL teachers racial, linguistic, and ethnic profiles, how do raciolinguistic discourses permeate their plurilingual identities? We employed a multimodal discourse analysis, combining visual narrative analysis and critical discourse analysis, to account for the intersection of language and racial ideologies in the professional identity formation of future language teachers. Au Canada, un grand nombre d’enseignants de l’anglais langue seconde (ALS) oeuvrent auprès de populations estudiantines diversifiées sur le plan linguistique, culturel et racial. L’augmentation de la diversité ethnique et raciale ainsi que l’évolution du paysage linguistique dans les salles de classe soulignent un besoin important pour des cadres pédagogiques qui tiennent compte de la diversité linguistique et culturelle des apprenants. Dans les programmes de formation initiale canadiens, cela se fait souvent en présentant aux enseignants le concept de plurilinguisme. Cependant, les enseignants d’ALS travaillent aujourd’hui dans un système qui renforce et reproduit des idéologies linguistiques oppressives, telles que les idéologies monolingues et les perspectives axées sur le déficit en matière d’utilisation des langues. Ainsi, pour les formateurs d’enseignants de langues, il est essentiel de travailler activement à l’identification et à la déconstruction de ces idéologies sous-jacentes afin de réaliser un changement pédagogique systémique. Dans cet article, nous présentons un projet de multilittératies basé sur les arts, développé dans un cours de langue en formation initiale afin de promouvoir la conscience linguistique critique des futurs enseignants d’ALS à propos du plurilinguisme, de leur répertoire linguistique et de leurs idéologies en matière d’apprentissage des langues. En mettant l’accent sur l’intersection de la langue et de la race, nous commençons par examiner la manière dont cela façonne l’enseignement de l’ALS au Canada. Ensuite, nous examinons à la fois la notion de plurilinguisme et les résultats des recherches menées dans les contextes de formation initiale sur les croyances des enseignants quant à l’adoption du plurilinguisme dans leur pratique. Nous présentons ensuite notre cadre conceptuel, ancré dans la raciolinguistique et les méthodes basées sur l’art, élaboré pour susciter et examiner les croyances des futurs enseignants. Notre question de recherche principale était la suivante : en tenant compte des profils raciaux, linguistiques et ethniques des enseignants novices de l’ALS, comment les discours raciolinguistiques influencent-ils leurs identités plurilingues? Nous avons utilisé une analyse multimodale du discours, combinant l’analyse narrative visuelle et l’analyse critique du discours, pour rendre compte de l’intersection des idéologies linguistiques et raciales dans la formation de l’identité professionnelle des futurs enseignants de langues.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
