  • Description: Two months into their first semester teaching developmental reading at the former institution, the authors noticed a distinct hierarchy emerging between levels of perceived ownership students felt over the material: the ELL students were frequently deferring to their more proficient partners and silencing themselves in the process. The majority of the students were multilingual, speaking Mandarin Chinese, Turkish, Korean, and German as first languages, though some of the students were monolingual English speakers. Up to this point in the semester, they had been engaged in an English language immersive environment, encouraging all students to speak and write in the target language. However, they realized that if they wanted to promote the idea that they are all learners of English, they needed to address that explicitly in class. They decided to do something radical. They decided to introduce translation. The use of translation in the composition classroom is a complicated issue.
