In my first year of living in Italy, struggling to understand and be understood, so often I wanted to shout out: “This is not who I am!”
A blog I read recently identified something of what was going on during that frustrating and sometimes demoralising time. This quote stood out: "Language can act as a lens of identity. While your personality is individual, your identity may change due to language, or perhaps rather how people perceive you in that language.” Lyn Wright Fogle So how can we as teachers make a difference to the way our students perceive themselves?
