VicTESOL Symposium: Pedagogy

Robyn Babaeff

Pedagogy in Action Across Education

Session Details

The VicTESOL pedagogy presentation is designed to represent diverse parent and child perspectives of self and action through challenges and triumphs of sustaining heritage language and culture in Australia. The socio-affective dynamics can socially and subjectively mediate aspects within the construction of one’s sense of self.

What does this indicate for educators’ practices to support the sustaining of family heritage for EAL students? Narratives from research present diverse scenarios that are analytically discussed to inspire authentic and strong embracing to students’ sense of self in being, belonging and becoming as bilinguals.
