What this episode covers
“Language is a tool, not a measure of intelligence…” What started as an enquiry into language development turned into a proper schooling on the social and cultural alternating of language and intonations used by so many communities. Is it about time we start code interpreting instead of expecting people to code switch? A huge thanks to Opal for joining us on this big conversation about mulit-culturalism, cultural identity and racism. Opal is an experienced teacher, originally from Jamaica by way of the US, who now lives in the north of Sweden. She’s passionate about language, cultural identity and has a degree in psychology.
