Speaking Into the Silence: Using Multilingual Students’ Own Words Through Poetic Transcription to Tell Their Stories Within Introductory College Mathematics Education
Page: 1398
With increasing linguistic diversity in college mathematics courses, there is a pressing need to better understand the learning experiences of multilingual students. The work presented in this poster stems from data collected in a larger study about the experiences of 28 multilingual students in introductory mathematics courses. In this poster, we present narratives from six students using poetic transcription analysis. These narratives explore the role of “silence”, presenting experiences of students being silenced and also using silence as a tool to navigate the sociopolitical contexts of the classroom.
