Language, multilingualism, and power in world language teachers' ideologies about a second language education
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This work questions what is meant by a "multilingual education" in the United States, including how its understandings may be perpetuating harmful power asymmetries. Drawing on interview data from high school world language teachers, it utilizes inductive coding of transcripts to surface teachers' ideologies--professed beliefs, thoughts, and feelings--about a second language education, as well as their thoughts on multilingualism and conceptions of language. Findings include six ideologies, two views of multilingualism, and five conceptions of language, leading to a discussion of two overall interpretations of language and its education: proficiency and expansiveness. The former is argued to be a monolingual view of multilingualism, and implications are considered in light of its ironic and problematic prevalence.
