Towards Intersectionality in Inclusive Language Teacher Education to Harness Multilingualism

Renata

"ELT methodology was useful for a second or two the moment I realised that a few of my students didn't speak Spanish as their L1"

(García & Kleyn, 2019)

Are we preparing (language) teachers for multilingual contexts?

How could we harness that alignment to promote multilingualism as a sociolinguistic and identity-driven phenomenon across spaces and practices?

How could we (re)imagine (language) teacher education in/for multilingual contexts as a way to enhance alignment between teacher preparation and (language) teaching?
