Today one of my general Ed. students read a quote by artist Niki de Saint-Phalle in perfect French and the rest of the class giggle and asked Did you just spoke in French? She said yes. And the class then laughed. The student had in the same slide the English translation of what she had read. Someone in the class then goes, why you did not read it in English? The student responds I like to read in French, I would like to teach in a school where I can teach students in more than one language. Many people in the class rolled their eyes. This is a problem that I frequently encounter: Why speaking different languages should be a problem for others? Why hearing other languages is a thread?
