Revitalizing Indigenous Languages: Trans[cultura] Lingual Experiences of Quechua learning
Principal Investigator: Yecid Ortega
In Collaboration with: Kuskalla
Status:
Phase 1 - Exploration
Trans[cultura]linguación (Ortega, 2019) refers to the synergy of languages interacting with cultures in a pedagogical task. In this process, a transaction between languages and variations of the same language (Quechua/Spanish/English) is used while students learn about their own culture and others. With this framework in mind, we explore how the process of learning Quechua is while engaging various learners from across the American Continent (Abya Yala). We attempt to understand the different online interactions on Zoom, Facebook live and WhatsApp messages while lessons are being conducted.

Anti-Black Racism in English Language Teaching (ELT): Challenges and Possibilities
Principal Co-Investigators: Wales Wong & Yecid Ortega
Status:
Phase 3 - Data processing
We are in the midst of data collecting and processing from dialogic coffee chats recorded through 10 video conferences, WhatsApp messages, teacher's classroom documents and self- notes.
We are using a video analysis and transcription by documenting the themes and codes on an online form for further analysis.
Phase 1 - Exploration
We use a duoethnographic self-study research approach to explore the challenges and possibilities to address issues of anti-Black racism in the English language teaching classroom. We acknowledge our positionalities and privileges as we also attempt to dismantle the inequality faced by the most marginalized communities of English Language Learners (ELLs).
