ABSTRACT

Community-based partnerships can drive pedagogical and technological innovation in the classroom as they meet students’ and partners’ needs. Centering our partner’s commitment to language justice - which reflects the intersectional, transnational and multilingual identities of contemporary social movements and Spanish language communities - I show how community-based, social justice-oriented pedagogies stimulate deeper and more critical engagement with language as dynamic, multifaceted, multisited and political. I show how community-based research (CBR) partnerships help harness digital technologies - a digital time line - to innovate teaching and develop intellectually sophisticated and publicly-oriented curricula for the second language acquisition classroom.
