Nov. 8 @ 3:30-5PM Olson 53A, The multilingual instructor. What FL teachers say about their experience and why it matters

Place: 53A Olson Hall

This paper discusses what it means to be a multilingual instructor in the 21st century, and what the ethical role of the multilingual instructor is from an ecological perspective.  The results come from an online survey of 78 native and non-native instructors with follow-up interviews from instructors teaching 17 different languages.  Participants provided answers to questions such as “On what do you base your sense of legitimacy as a FL instructor?”, “Do you share your multilingual experiences with your students and if not, why not?”, and “Do you feel it is your role to change your students’ worldviews?”
