Using Multiple Language Teacher Identities as Pedagogies in Developing Critical Language Awareness Dr. Tuba Angay-Crowder, Georgia State University; Dr. Jayoung Choi, Kennesaw State University; and Dr. Gertrude Tinker Sachs, Georgia State University The presenters discuss how they, as three plurilingual language teacher educators, drew upon multiple identities as pedagogical resources to create critical language awareness for pre- and in-service teachers. Implications and recommendations about drawing upon plurilingual and professional identities in developing critical awareness and establishing critical praxis in ELT are provided.
BALLROOM D LEAPing into Content Literacy Using a Laboratory Approach Dr. Danielle Hilaski, Dr. Jennie Jones, and Dr. Nicole Maxwell, University of North Georgia Integrating laboratories into course work can support the transfer of theory to practice.
