Title: � � � � � � � �� Hegemony of Monoglossic Ideologies in U.S. Education: In Search of Critical Responses�
Abstract:� CAL is bringing together key thought leaders to discuss the predominant attitude in many US educational settings of English as the dominant language and the impact of that mindset on multilingual learners.� Recognizing that the United States is a highly multilingual country in which language diversity is perceived by many as a threat, there is near-universal agreement among language experts about the legitimacy of minoritized linguistic practices. The panelists will discuss how approaching bilingualism from a subtractive mindset hinders academic growth. They will then problematize whether additive approaches that promote the development of standardized language skills while encouraging maintenance of the minoritized linguistic practices that support academic growth are enough to foster equitable education of multilingual learners from minoritized backgrounds in U.S. schools.�
