Here is a short summary of the talk on “German Beyond Its Native Speakers” I gave at the Austria Centre Leiden a few weeks ago!

Changing teachers' attitudes towards linguistic diversity: effects of an anti-bias programme

Facebook comment: Linguistics professor speaking here: So so sad to invite a nonlinguist to such events who perpetuates damaging language ideologies such as native speakerism and accentism. There are DECADES of research in linguistics showing it actually hurts people! I really wish we would invite multilingual families to embrace all their resources and fluid repertoires without having 'native competence' as a goal.

First time seeing such a clear statement against #NativeSpeakerism in #AcademicWriting 👏 Thank you, European Journal of Applied Linguistics!
