You must log in to view sessions Global Issues in Language Education SIG Forum

Based on your experiences, what can we global educators do to support/welcome you better into the field and what can we do pedagogically to 'normalize' your presence in classrooms to our students?" This is a 90 min. forum of three multicultural, global educators sharing their experiences in the field and then ask for their thoughts on how global educators can meaningfully promote multi/plurilingualism and diversity. It will highlight their experiences in the field as well as in the classroom and use those to inform a discussion on suggestions for both supporting academics and classroom practice that can normalize their presence in ELT.

Hello. Mingalarbar. My name is May and I am from Myanmar. I have been a teacher in higher education in Southeast Asia for a little over 10 years. I have two masters: one in English literature from Assumption University in Thailand and an MEd Tesol from the University of Exeter from the U.K. When I'm not preparing for classes or (attempting) to write research papers, I'm on Twitter (@BurmeseBeast) speaking up for democracy and freedom. I'm passionate about all issues related to equality and equity.

My parents were from Japan, but I was born and educated in California. I've been in the Department of English Literature and Language at Otsuma since 2009. I've been a long-standing member of the Learner Development (LD) SIG. My research interests are narrative inquiry and English language identities. I only have a JLPT Level 2. I enjoy taking long walks, playing the piano, and writing fiction.
