Cada capítulo incluye preguntas de discusión y actividades de análisis. Esta edición se basa en Speaking Spanish in the US (Multilingual Matters, 2020), pero está pensada específicamente para el público hispanohablante.  Jennifer Leeman ha publicado extensamente sobre la interacción de las ideologías del lenguaje, raza y nación; la racialización del español y Latinxs en Estados Unidos; política lingüística y enfoques pedagógicos críticos en la enseñanza de lenguas de herencia.

In deze aflevering - de laatste van seizoen 2 - beantwoord ik jullie vragen over meertalige kinderen.  De vragen gaan over uiteenlopende onderwerpen: hoe schrijf je nou een family language plan, kan een meertalig kind accentloos worden in beide talen, en wat doe je als je kind naar de logopedist moet maar de logopedist alleen Nederlands praat? En we beantwoorden ook vragen van leerkachten over het inzetten van de thuistalen van meertalige kinderen op school: goed idee maar waar ligt de balans tussen het Nederlands en de andere talen? En wat doe je als de meertalige kinderen in je klas liever Engels met elkaar praten dan Nederlands? Ook zijn er vragen over het omgaan met meertalige kinderen op de kinderopvang.  Hopelijk voor ieder wat wils dus!  Deze vragen beantwoord ik niet alleen, maar samen met Josje Verhagen. Dr. Josje Verhagen is onderzoeker aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam binnen de Faculteit der Geesteswetenschappen en de Capaciteitsgroep Nederlandse Taalkunde. Zij doet onderzoek naar de taalontwikkeling van peuters en kleuters en de rol van het werkgeheugen hierbij.  Meer informatie over Josje's veelzijdig onderzoek kun je vinden op deze website.  Dit is haar derde (!) keer op Kletsheads. Zij was al eerder te horen in de tweede aflevering van het eerste seizoen ("Zijn meertalige kinderen beter in communiceren?" ) en ook eerder in dit seizoen ("De meertalige kinderopvang" ).  Foto:  Bob Bronshoff Tijdens de podcast hebben we het over family language planning en ik noem hierbij het recent verschenen boek van Eowyn Crisfield, Bilingual Families: A Practical Language Planning Guide (uitgegeven door Multilingual Matters).  Dit is een echte aanrader! Eowyn vertelt ook meer over dit onderwerp in aflevering 9 van afgelopen seizoen van Kletsheads (ook beschikbaar in een volledige Engelstalige editie).  We hebben het ook over de vraag of het nodig is om naar beide talen van een meertalig kind te kijken als een kind naar de logopedist gaat. Het antwoord is ja! Tijdens de podcast lees ik een reactie op deze vraag voor van Dunya Taki.  Dunya is secretaris van de Stichting Meertalige Logopedie Nederland. Ben je op zoek naar een meertalige logopedist in Nederland, dan is deze overzichtskaart een goed plek om te beginnen. En ben je zelf een meertalige logopedist en nog niet aangesloten aan deze groep, meld je snel aan! Meer informatie vind je op hun website. Meer informatie over logopedie en de vraag hoe je kunt vaststellen over een meertalig kind een taalachterstand heeft, vind je in deze aflevering van Kletsheads met Mirjam Blumental. En zoals ik zeg in de podcast is er ook een Engelstalige aflevering over hetzelfde onderwerp: "How do you know if a bilingual child has a language delay?"). Twee van de vragen die we in deze aflevering beantwoorden kwamen van Frederike Groothoff, ambulant taalondersteuner in Amtelveen. Zij is ook zelf te gast geweest bij Kletsheads waar ze veel praktische tips deelde over hoe je om kunt gaat met meertalige kinderen in je klas.

We had an interesting conversation with Dr. Balyasnikova, working at York University. In this special summer edition, we got together at Queen’s Park in Toronto to have a chat about educational gerontology and community-engaged research. From Russia to the USA and now Canada Dr. Balyasnikova describes educational gerontology as a subset of adult education and health science that tries to understand learning experiences at a later life. For example, how certain learning experiences affect ageing or how ageist stereotyping impacts learning in older adult learners. She is also interested in community-engaged research which is embedded in the idea of working together to inform research and we see participants as collaborators rather than subjects of study while we build relationships. She invites us to question whether participants need research or not and what form research needs to take. Additionally, Dr. Balyasnikova enjoys using various art and narrative methodologies to understand participants’ lived experiences. She uses arts-based research as possibilities for participants to express themselves and she engages participants with stories, theatre, drawing or painting as multimodal narratives. Bio Originally from Saint Petersburg Russia, Natalia Balyasnikova completed her Ph.D. in Language and Literacy Education at the University of British Columbia in July 2019. She explores older immigrants’ educational engagement in community-based settings. Using narrative ethnographic methods, she merges traditional ethnographic data generation with the facilitation of oral, written, and multimodal storytelling. With a focus on community-based research and public scholarship, Dr. Balyasnikova works with attention to the needs of the research partners and facilitates their vision for positive change. By analyzing learning that occurs at the intersection of ageing and immigration, her work suggests new pathways of community-based curriculum and educational policy in the context of changing demographics in Canada.

Dr. Amir Kalan talks about his upcoming book “Sociocultural and Power Relational Dimensions of Multilingual Writing”. Here, Dr. Kalan explains how Western academic writing follows a process of capitalist industrialization of levelling and separating the languages skills as if this were a mechanical system. He suggested several solutions to these mentalities such as restructuring writing classes and some pedagogical practices from creative narrative formation to collaborative and identity writing while paying attention to multimodal forms of assessment. This podcast is also available as a video podcast through Roots Media here: https://youtu.be/BD3bH7Pj03g Bio: Dr. Amir Kalan is a Lecturer at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. He teaches educational research methods and research writing to Canadian pre-service teachers in the Master of Teaching program.

Welcome back to the TEFLology Podcast - a podcast all about teaching English as a foreign language, and related matters.  For this week’s episode, we bring you a recording made at the excitELT conference, that took place last Sunday in Tokyo.  ExcitELT is an independent venture started by a teacher based in Beijing. Unlike many larger academic conferences, ExcitELT is not sponsored or affiliated with any organisations, but is devised and carried out by a small group of volunteers, with most of the proceeds going to charitable courses.  The episodes features interviews with three of the featured speakers, former guests John Fanselow and Mike Griffin, and Atsuko Watanabe. Atsuko is author of “Reflective Practice as Professional Development Experiences of Teachers of English in Japan,” published by Multilingual Matters, and works an associate professor at Bunkyo University, on the outskirts of Tokyo. For more information about John and Mike, refer to previous episodes of the links below. Enjoy the episode!  More information about John can be found here.  Information about Mike can be found here. And information about Atsuko can be found here. Buy our e-book – Podcasting and Professional Development: A Guide for English Language Teachers here. To find other great titles, visit The Round.
