I thought so much after your initial e mel, and then you followed it up with your blog post too. I wanted to explore that with you just a little bit more. If we draw from our linguistic repertories and engage in trans language and practices, we can use these to really understand different stories and perspectives on social media. There's another thing i talked about with you, ye know, if we spend 15 minutes each day on doolingo versus social media. It's such a great way to get different, to learn different perspectives from people who speak different languages and varieties.
Emma Trentman shares some Ideologies regarding language learning on episode 362 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
When you take language out of its social context and it is decontextualized, then you lose sight of how that language is connected to its social context.
-Emma Trentman
Rather than focusing on what language we are using, try focusing on how we are using language in particular social contexts.
-Emma Trentman
