PhD student (4th year, full time)
Research Topic
Making multimodal mathematical meaning in multilingual classrooms
Research Summary
The nature of my interdisciplinary research project involves looking at the experiences that Farsi/English bilingual learners have in learning mathematics in different kinds of settings: in their complementary school (weekend school) where they can draw on more than one language when they are engaged in talking about mathematics with their teacher or with other students followed by their experiences in learning mathematics in their mainstream school where they are experiencing learning mathematics solely through the medium of English.
