White folx in German: Think about how your colleagues and students of color are made to navigate the world. It's not enough to personally not be racist. It's is everyone's responsibility to be anti-racist. What will our organizations do? @DDGCtweets @GSATeaching @AATGOnline

#WiGerman19 kicks off with a discussion of the DDGC open letter to the AATG and a discussion of inclusive teaching practices. I’m retweeting this with the conference hashtag so everyone reads this important thread and reflects on how we talk about language learning.

The opening session of the #WiGerman19 conference is discussing the @DDGCtweets Open Letter to the AATG. Not only was there productive reflection about the issues raised in the letter, but there was a focus on concrete actions we can take to create the academy we want to work in.
