Abstract:
When popular media and many individuals discuss changes in English, some erroneously contend that the language has always been the same and changes amount to little more than “politically correct woke liberalism” desired by only certain people. The English language continually evolves as a natural process that nothing can force nor prevent. Field-specific language also changes with increased understanding and knowledge. The variety of English taught to most students also shifts as Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC)/Writing Across Disciplines (WAD) initiatives increasingly focus on Global English rather than the standard of any one country or group. Even informal interactions with faculty influence how students understand diversity, equity, and inclusion topics such as the use of language (Johnson et al., 2020). Educators across disciplines and modalities must model inclusive, effective communication, including changing usage rules, diction, grammar, and punctuation. Helping students understand the development of English and find credible, inclusive writing resources – especially those faculty use in their own writing – both encourages student information literacy and follows Alder-Kassner’s (2019) advice that when instructors share professional knowledge and practices regarding inclusive communication, teaching and learning about the subject become more effective. This session examines and models how all instructors, regardless of their subject area or modality, can use micro-learning principles and virtual field-trip to help students locate, evaluate, and use online resources on the evolution of English, field-specific language development, and inclusive communication.
