Rooted in Language and Community: Supporting Multilingual Learners

In this episode of the AAAS STPF Sci on the Fly podcast, AAAS STPF alumna and RAICES Principal Investigator (PI) Heather Olson Beal sits down with two co-PIs of the RAICES team, Dr. Chrissy Cross and Dr. Marisol Diaz, to discuss the importance of creating productive learning environments for English learners and multilingual students.

Established in 2023, Project Raices is the short-hand name for the Reaching All Individuals and Communities to Establish Success in Language Learning Grant. Raíces means roots in Spanish. Much like roots, the name was intentionally chosen to highlight the interconnectedness of language, culture, and family networks that are needed to grow successful academic achievement, language acquisition and school-community partnerships.

En este episodio del podcast AAAS STPF Sci on the Fly, Heather Olson Beal, exbecaria del programa STPF y la investigadora principal del Proyecto RAICES, se sienta con dos colegas, co-investigadoras principales, Chrissy Cross y Marisol Diaz, para discutir la importancia de crear entornos de aprendizaje productivos para estudiantes multilingües en proceso de adquirir el inglés.

Establecido en 2022, Proyecto RAICES es el nombre abreviado en inglés (Reaching All Individuals and Communities to Establish Success in Language Learning): Alcanzando a todos los individuos y comunidades para establecer el éxito en el aprendizaje de idiomas. Al igual que raíces, el nombre fue elegido intencionalmente para resaltar la interconexión del idioma, la cultura, y las redes familiares que se necesitan para el éxito académico, la adquisición del language, y las asociaciones entre la escuela y la comunidad.
