Robin Rhodes, Director of International Student Academic Support, recently published a peer-reviewed book chapter titled: “Equitable Design and Assessment: Exploring Multilingual Perspectives and Bakhtin’s Dialogism in English Writing Pedagogy” in Handbook of Research on Policies and Practices for Assessing Inclusive Teaching and Learning (Meletiadou, 2021). The chapter focuses on linguistically sustaining pedagogy and recommendations for equitable assessment while also increasing student investment in language learning. Bakhtin’s dialogism and the Academic Literacies model provide theoretical frameworks while also examining negative discourse and deficit-based practices.
