This engaging and delightfully illustrated book invites students to engage with concepts such as:
- the cultural meaning of the idiom use your words
- Linguistic Relativity, a framework linguists use to research and understand how thought and language influence one another
- why being told to use your words can make someone feel excluded
- and how understanding the way language works can help us learn to be more inclusive
Featuring practical inclusivity tips related to integrating learning
