Description

In this interactive practice workshop, we invite teachers of all languages and backgrounds to help us build a new framework for intersectionality in the field of language teacher identity. Participants will have the opportunity to think deeply about different aspects of teacher identity and discuss their ideas, opinions and personal experiences. By instilling an intersectional critical consciousness of who we are as language teachers, we can begin to overcome discrimination and marginalization in our field.
