Artificial Intelligence presents amazing potential for language development and translation in the next couple years. Imagine a scenario where a Vietnamese speaking student can enter a full immersion English speaking classroom on day one with an AI translation device which seamlessly translates both languages so a student can engage in content without having to develop a full language competency. Many companies are excited by this possibility and working fervently to make it a reality. A world where technology makes communication across languages seamless and accessible. While AI technology presents the capability to make seamless translation a reality, does it come with tradeoffs? We know every language, let alone dialect, also includes cultural context, nuance, and semantics, meaning the gap for miscommunication still exists. If AI translators are adopted across the world, does it also lead to a loss of cultural competency as folks rely on AI translation rather than learning new languages - and the cultural lens which come with it? At the same time, many schools and teachers across the world are experiencing tremendous challenges in supporting multilingual learners. As our communities continue to change, there are classrooms where many different languages could be spoken - how does a teacher support all of these students? Can AI help? Tan Huynh has insight here. As a multilingual education expert who speaks six languages and an individual who has taught close to two decades in a variety of educational contexts, Tan is uniquely positioned to provide important answers to these big questions.

Students who have learned enough English to do well socially may still need scaffolding to thrive academically. In this episode, I talk with Tan Huynh and Beth Skelton, authors of the book Long-Term Success for Experienced Multilinguals, about the specific strategies teachers can use to help these learners reach their full potential across the curriculum. Thanks to Grammar Gap Fillers and Giant Steps for sponsoring this episode. You can read a full transcript of this podcast at cultofpedagogy.com/experienced-multilinguals.
Is the term “Long Term English Learners” limiting opportunities and academic achievement for this subgroup of students? How can we help these students by uncovering the “hidden curriculum” of language in lessons in order to scaffold support from input to output? What strategies can be used for a school-wide implementation of these practices that foster an environment where all multilingual learners can thrive? We'll discuss these questions and much more with our guests Beth Skelton and Tan Huynh. You're likely familiar with their work and they have come together to write a new book - Long Term Success for Experienced Multilinguals - a fitting title.
