In monological classrooms, the teacher's voice dominates, and the
dominant culture's language is viewed as the only path to success.
However, this approach limits discourse within the classroom and
fails to recognize the value of student voices. Empowering Students
Through Multilingual and Content Discourse explores ways to create
classroom spaces where all students feel heard, valued, and
empowered. Drawing on research from scholars of the use of
discourse, this book guides educators on how to cultivate deeper
understandings of discourse in learning environments. The book
offers insights into how discourse can be used to empower students,
honor the voices of all students, and promote language and literacy
development. Empowering Students Through Multilingual and Content
Discourse also offers guidance on culturally and linguistically
sustaining discourse practices. It encourages educators to use
students' home languages and discourse practices in classroom
instruction and offers instructional approaches that promote
discourse opportunities, and challenges educators to rethink their
approach to language in the classroom and move away from centering
the dominant or most prevalent culture. It offers insights on how
to represent language more responsibly within the classroom and
creates spaces where all the students' voices are heard. This
research book is a valuable resource for academic scholars looking
to explore discourse in all areas of literacy: reading, writing,
listening, speaking, viewing, and visually representing. In-service
and pre-service teachers looking to cultivate student-centered
classroom practices will be able to implement the concepts within
this book in their classrooms. By encouraging discourse among
students, educators can create a space where human life holds
meaning and students feel empowered to act and use their voices.
