Fostering Multiliteracy in a Linguistically Diverse Classroom
Summary of Key Points
●
The article examines how a monolingual educator teaches a classroom of
students speaking numerous distinct native languages in a linguistically
diverse way.
●
The authors are confident that any educator can promote classroom
multiliteracy even though they do not speak those languages.
●
First, it is essential to comprehend the value of using a student's first language
knowledge to improve their second one, in this case, English.
●
Educators should use these first languages to improve their English
(Schwarzer & Lorenzen, 04).
●
It includes improving the second language by associating what they learn with
their first.
●
Secondly, it is vital to identify common misunderstandings regarding the
educator's role in multiliteracy growth.
●
Educators can foster a multiliterate class by creating a social environment
encourages students to use their first languages (Schwarzer, 05).
What Stood Out for Me in the Article
●
First, the article discusses various beginner strategies to support
multiliteracy, which stood out.
●
One of them is creating a multiliterate print environment.
●
Using posters effectively encourages a multiliterate class (Schwarzer &
Lorenzen, 05).
●
This approach reminds me of how I learned French.
●
My French teacher used to place many posters with French words and
phrases and their English translations.
●
These translations help improve their memories of English words and
phrases.

What Stood Out for Me in the Article-Continued
●
Again, using multiliterate projects stands out as an effective practice
for fostering multiliteracy.
●
Projects like translating words into various languages improve
students' ability to understand the second language (Schwarzer &
Lorenzen, 05).
●
It reminds me of how my father taught me Spanish.
●
He used to play spelling games with me where one could choose a
word in English and tell me to spell it in Spanish.
●
This game improved my Spanish because the approach made me
more interested.
Questions I Would Like My Classmates to Discuss
●
One is how to manage a multiliteracy classroom to prevent
communication barriers when every student speaks their first
language.
●
The second question is how a teacher may prevent students' first
languages from negatively affecting their second language
development.
●
The third question is whether these strategies can work for parents to
teach their children other languages.
