Keynote Panel: Interweaving Language, Identity, Culture, and Pedagogy: Voices from the Community
A panel of professionals representing Marshallese, Rwandan, and Afghan communities of Spokane will share insights into indigenous ways of teaching and learning and how to integrate these perspectives into formalized educational contexts. They will discuss their role in the development and implementation of culturally-derived language learning experiences in K-12 and adult learning environments. These perspectives provide a fresh outlook on how school systems can actualize their stated commitment to valuing the inextricable link between language, identity, culture, and pedagogy.
Dean Batuma, Dorcas Taidrik, Doresty Daniel, Rick Kabua
