Largely inspired by the work of Wade Davis, cultural anthropologist, ethnobotanist, author, and photographer, Originateve began practices of multi-lingual holism. See Davis' Ted Talk  here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL7vK0pOvKI

In this podcast, Ron and Carl dive into common challenges with the conventional thinking and practice of multi-lingual learners in the classroom.  How can we see diverse languages as a gift rather than a roadblock to learning? How can teachers within the English domain coming from different mother tongues utilize their gift to benefit learners with the added richness of their "ways of being and thinking" that com from their linguistic heritage?

Finally, how can mono-linguistic instructors begin to diversify the language content in their literacy class to holistically cross connect disciplines and improve relevance through the investigation of etymological roots of English?
