In this episode we look at what world language curriculum has included and what has been left out, with a critical eye on diverse ethnicities and voices. I'm joined by Ben Tinsley, a French teacher in Philadelphia. He guides us through his own language learning journey as a Black student and how he did not see himself and the Afro-Black-Caribbean experience reflected in his language learning experience.
This prompted him to unapologetically center Francophone Black people in his curriculum. This conversation will help us all provide our students with language learning experiences that authentically, and accurately, reflect the diversity of our target language cultures.
