The Macarena came on the radio and I was surprised to know my 5-yo already knows the moves. “Come on Papa, everyone knows the Macaroni Song!” 🙄 🤣

Happy to share a book chapter, and perhaps my favorite solo-authored piece to date. 🤓 What benefits, challenges, and identity construction processes do Kazakhstani multilingual teachers experience? 🌏🤨 What language ideologies are enacted in our research? 🤔 bit.ly/criticalEMI

Trump’s Executive Order on “radical indoctrination” in K-12 schools is premised on some strange logic. I understand ideologies as dynamic, contested, assemblages of values. How can they be “false”?

No, I’ll have to check it out! I’m missing Beliy Medved Nefiltrovanoe. Any idea why they disappeared from stores?

I learned today that 39 is not too old to go sledding. It is, however, too old to go sledding and not need ibuprofen afterwards 🤦‍♂️

My 11yo just asked me why I’m having coffee again.

Textbook example of how language ideologies are reinforced or challenged in hundreds of everyday interactions.

Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.

I’ve done portfolio grading in middle and high school classrooms. This semester I’m trying it out with graduate students. Lots of choice and chances for creativity.

So much academic writing advice is just “false promises and cheap tricks” - novice writers deserve better, as @patthomson.bsky.social reminds us

Same boat, 100%. And they are masters students, so I have to quiet the voice that says quantity = challenge.

Philip Montgomery @dpmontgomery.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

And the critical educational linguist might add that the label “the real world” is always up for grabs, that teaching students to celebrate and leverage linguistic diversity is in fact preparing them for a linguistically heterogenous future, in turn helping preserve the value of that heterogeneity

5 yo: what are you listening to? Mom: it’s work stuff 5 yo: what are they talking about? Mom: contingencies of reinforcement 5 yo: Oh, they’re speaking Russian?? 😂

Also, I should say I’m not against some more digestible genres, like periodicals. medium.com/readwithsimb...

Philip Montgomery @dpmontgomery.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Great recommendation. Do you have a specific reading that comes to mind? I’m trying to balance shorter handbook-type chapters which give succinct overviews of an issue with more contextualized empirical studies.

📢 Request 📢 Designing a course for graduate students called Language and Literacy Development. MA in Multilingual Education. What HAS to be on that syllabus? Also, help me diversify readings outside of western contexts! #literacies #edusky

Any beer lovers on here? Dreaming of a hazy IPA that light barely passes through. Can’t get that in Kazakhstan (this one is from Houston last spring), but will be back in the States next week!

Meanwhile in Kazakhstan, school is only cancelled if it hits -30C 😭

In that case, [insert all my DOIs here] 🤓

Awesome list, Monisha. Very interested in language ideologies and disrupting “standard” English in universities. I’d love to be added!

Philip Montgomery @dpmontgomery.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

I can probably account for a lot of my success at grad school to prior experiences that built navigational capital, like Peace Corps and working in various schools (all in my native language by the way). Your voice and advocacy are definitely needed!

Philip Montgomery @dpmontgomery.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Language ideologies shape the rules around what and whose language is validated. A big shift in research in recent years has been from identifying what they *are* to illustrating what they *do*--how they impact social life. Read more in our EAL entry! www.researchgate.net/publication/...

I understand Mark is suggesting that teachers mediate the use of technology to reduce ethical sketchiness. Isn’t that what they have always done when new tech (pencils, typewriters, word processors) comes along?

This was my first thought. ChatGPT is an absolutely a cool trick you can do with words, but asking it to give you an essay on a topic doesn’t mean you know or learned anything.
