Everyone has a unique language learning history. In this workshop, attendees will share and discuss their own experiences with language. How do place and language (including accents and/or dialects) bring us together? How do they create barriers? How do they shape our own growth and identity? During our time together, you will create a personal language history that will help you reflect on your experiences.

All students are encouraged to join us in this reflective exercise. If you're interested in attending, please RSVP 🙏

This workshop will be facilitated by Michelle Hager, Director, and Amy Russo, Coordinator of Multilingual Writing Support Services, of the SJSU Writing Center. It is part of the yearlong Translate San José project, which is supported by the College of Humanities & the Arts’ Artistic Excellence Programming Grant. Contact: SJSU Writing Center (writingcenter@sjsu.edu)
