English Language Learner Labels: Institutions And Identity, Saylor B. Eames
University Honors Theses
In recent discussions of identity work, an underexplored issue has been how different labels impact the self-identity of multilingual students.

After reviewing relevant literature in Composition Studies, the author explores how translingual tenets can be implemented within current university curricula. Through three well-established pedagogical approaches, the author suggests, instructors can adopt translingual practices that support students’ linguistic agency and challenge monolingual ideologies. …
