ELL Segregation and Integration: Beyond the Classroom
The Center for Applied Linguistics is pleased to kick off the new year of our webinar series Research to Policy: Critical Conversations in Language Education. For 2023, our theme is Multilingualism without Borders, and for our first webinar, we'll be considering how schools and classrooms might push back against artificial borders by ensuring that multilingual students are not segregated from their peers. Dr. Beatriz Arias and Dr. Karen Lillie will share their perspectives on the research around the harm caused when students identified as English learners are placed in segregated educational environments, and will provide recommendations on policies and practices that ensure students' civil rights are protected and that multilingual students have access to a full suite of educational programs, curricula, and opportunities
