A. language brokering

B. linguistic support

C. linguistic tutoring

D. linguistic violence

2. In the article by Dr. Martinez, he poses a framework for a language of solidarity in all English classrooms. Which of the following should be included when creating a classroom with a language of solidarity?

A. It should ignore the language spoken at home and within communities, and focus primarily on language used at school

B. It should avoid discussions of the current physical and linguistic violence students face so that they are in a space free from those distractions

C. It should encourage all students to unify under one, standard language

D. It should provide a critical language pedagogy where Black and Latinx youth understand the social, historical, and political nature of their languages and those we seek to add

3. Why should we begin referring to non-bilingual schools as monolingual? Reflect on your experience in either a monolingual or bilingual classroom/school. How did your experience impact your education and/or your identity? (Remember to write a thoughtful and complete answer)
