COTSEAL is seeking three (3) more panelists working, teaching, doing research on different Southeast Asian Languages to form a panel on the theme of "Reframing Southeast Asian Language Teaching: Critical Perspectives” to be presented at COTSEAL-sponsored panel at the 2023 Annual Conference of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) in Boston, March 16-19, 2023.
COTSEAL Sponsored Panel AAS 2023
Proposal: Reframing Southeast Asian Language Teaching: Critical Perspectives
Anti-Asian discourses and violence are on the rise in the U.S. recently as can be seen on the recorded number of attacks and racist actions targeting members of the Asian communities during the covid-19 pandemic. As Southeast Asian (SEA) language teachers in American higher institutions, we cannot turn a blind eye on these realities that impinge on our students’ lives and our professional and personal lives as well.
This panel brings together four SEA language teachers who seek to explore concrete ways of responding to the challenges of our time, specifically examining pedagogical and curricular decisions, innovations, and practices that promote equity, inclusion, diversity, and social justice in our teaching practices. More specifically, members of this panel who come from diverse teaching contexts will critically unpack how Southeast Asian languages in American universities have been conventionally framed from nationalistic and hegemonic ideals.
The panel will also share ideas and reflect on how SEA language teachers endeavor to address the diverse needs and identities of all types of students. These language teachers will share stories of reframing language teaching by looking at how ethnicity, class, gender, and race intersect and affect students’ language learning and identity development. Lastly, this panel will highlight the invaluable contribution of SEA languages in fostering diversity and inclusion in the US by promoting contextual-multilingual strategies that honor students’ identities and harness the funds of knowledge that they bring into the classroom.
