Dean’s Council on Diversity seminar:
“Coile Middle School English Learners and their Teachers: Our Participatory Action Research and Classroom Practices.”
Room 417 Aderhold Hall

In this presentation, a group of English Learners and teachers describe how critical performative pedagogy was used in spring 2010 in the context of a middle school ESOL/English Language Arts classroom to embody and challenge local social issues.   The presentation includes a short drama scene and a reading of a collaboratively written poem about immigration issues.   After the initial performance, the group will talk about their continuing membership in an ESOL classroom collective in 2010-2011.
