Language Goes To School
A podcast about multilingual education in New Mexico and beyond. We invite a wide variety of experts in the field of multilingual education to address theories, practices, policies, and issues related to multilingual education. The primary goal of the podcast is to provide a platform that brings the art and science of multilingual education from the classrooms, where it is practiced, to wider audiences. Your host is David Aram Wilson, a retired multilingual educator and university lecturer in New Mexico, who educates multilingual students and teachers of the future.

Language Goes To School
Michele Trujillo: Dual-Language Kindergarten Teacher and Artist Extraordinaire!
Michele Trujillo is the longest serving kindergarten teacher in the dual-language program at Zia Elementary in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She joined the program in 2006. Since then, she has experienced various demographic changes in the neighborhood surrounding Zia. These changes have resulted in shifts in language knowledge, acquisition, and use in her classroom and in the school. We asked her about these shifts, as well as about her artistic work on behalf of the dual-language teaching community in New Mexico, the statewide dual-language teachers’ Facebook group she established some years ago, how she allocates language use in her classroom, and more. You can view Michele’s winning Cosecha poster by clicking on the link below. Plus, language submersion can occur without actually getting wet.
