Overview

We value multiple languages, dialects, and forms of literacy including oral, visual, digital, etc. emphasizing critical, sociocultural, indigenous, and anti-racist approaches to honor the diverse ways that youth, families, and communities learn and engage with languages and literacies.

Our Language, Literacy, and Culture program at the University of Washington also prepares language and literacy educators to deepen their teaching practice in racially, ethnically, linguistically, and culturally diverse classroom and community settings. Graduates of our program engage with opportunities that deepen their understanding of how migration and schooling are interconnected.
