This paper describes a collaborative action-research project initiated by two professors of multilingual=multicultural education at a large US university, whose goal was to update a required first-semester graduate course in a bilingual=second language teacher-education programme and to adapt it to the needs of students and schools faced with a range of bilingual learner needs. Through a dialogic approach, the researchers successfully tapped into their students’ own multilingual language acquisition and multicultural experiences for use as a springboard for learning. The study examines the multidimensional second language learning pathway between and among teachers and students from diverse backgrounds that can be applied in the PK-12 classroom.
