Language Discrimination Inside the Classroom

As a foreigner learning the Spanish language, I have had my own experiences with linguistic discrimination, from seemingly innocent remarks, to downright discriminating other varieties of a certain language, by deeming them “vulgar” or “of bad taste”. With this said, the intention of this article is not to shame my past teacher(s), but rather, enlighten the reader the consequences of linguistic discrimination. But before anything else, what is linguistic discrimination? Linguistic discrimination is a distinct treatment based on the language or dialect being used, a good example is when Tagalog speakers mock Cebuano speakers for their accent, or when European Spanish speakers deem the American varieties of Spanish as unworthy or low class. <a href="https://jelopez31.medium.com/language-discrimination-inside-the-classroom-8d29a73b723f">Visit Now</a>
