Jessi Grieser, PhD., Associate Professor of linguistics in the Department of Linguistics
at the University of Michigan
When we encounter students in our work as educators we are encountering students with a wide swath of linguistic backgrounds–different Englishes, different and many primary languages, different socializations to the role that language should play in their lives. This challenge demands a flexible approach which meets students where they are linguistically, with full thought for the ways in which ideas about language often reinforce white, colonialist ideals to the detriment of learners’ progress. In this talk, I’ll discuss some features of linguistic diversity we need to take into account as educators aiming to meet our students and writers where they are, and provide a roadmap to holistic assessment which celebrates the linguistic gifts our students bring to our classrooms while also remaining sensitive to the demands a less linguistically-aware workforce may make of them in the future.
