This week’s guest, Kholood Qumei, is a full-time teacher by day and student by night. She is pursuing an EdM in International Education and Development with a concentration in languages, literacies, and cultures, and she speaks with us about shifting our thinking about multilingual students, embracing what her advisor calls a “multilingual habitus,” strategies you can use to support students in your classes, and the importance of doing a language history of ourselves and our students.
