A new graduate certificate that educates and trains graduate students from various disciplines to collaborate and enact multilingual multicultural awareness and understanding in their professional practices will be offered at the University of Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> at M\u0101noa starting in summer 2022. The multilingual multicultural professional practice<\/a> (MMPP<\/abbr>), a 15-credit interdisciplinary program, is the first cross-college certificate programs in the UH<\/abbr> System by UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa\u2019s College of Education<\/a> (COE<\/abbr>) and the College of Arts, Languages & Letters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use the term \u2018multilingual\u2019 to be consistent with current perspectives in the field of second language studies,\u201d said Second Language Studies Professor Graham Crookes<\/strong>, one of the designers of the program. \u201cInstead of using terms such as \u2018English Language Learner,\u2019 multilingual emphasizes the cultural and linguistic assets of people and recognizes the need for fostering heritage language maintenance and language acquisition broadly, not just English. These perspectives can lead to educational, social and economic benefits both for professionals and for the communities they serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

MMPP<\/abbr> engages other UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa professional schools, such as the William S. Richardson School of Law, to promote social justice, equity and sustainability. Part of the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Multilingual Multicultural Strategic Initiative<\/a>, the certificate cultivates a strong sense of place, building upon Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s<\/span> unique cultures and languages, while also preparing graduate students to be leaders in multilingualism, multiculturalism and linguistic human rights.<\/p>\n

Connecting courses to professional field<\/h2>\n

Structured so students across diverse disciplines will share two core multilingual multicultural courses, the remaining three courses of the MMPP<\/abbr> program will be elective multilingual multicultural courses connected to their professional field in the context of Hawai\u02bbi<\/span>. Hawaiian culture, history and language are foundational across the curriculum. Students will collaborate on an integrative final project drawing on their newfound multilingual multicultural understanding of their professional field.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be exciting to see students network across different disciplines, professions and orientations, to identity problems and create solutions and programs to better serve our multilingual multicultural communities,\u201d said Professor Patricia Halagao<\/strong>, one of the program designers and chair of the COE<\/abbr>Department of Curriculum Studies<\/a>, which is administering the certificate.<\/p>\n

Working with multilingual multicultural populations<\/h2>\n

The MMPP<\/abbr> certificate offers important knowledge and skills that professionals, including lawyers and educators, need to work effectively with multilingual multicultural populations.<\/p>\n

For educators, MMPP<\/abbr> coursework addresses essential local policies and national professional standards to ensure they have the needed knowledge, skills, and values to support their multilingual multicultural learners in Hawai\u02bbi<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Brook Chapman de Sousa<\/strong>, COE<\/abbr> Institute for Teacher Education associate professor and collaborating designer, said, \u201cWe\u2019ve designed a specific set of coursework aligned to the Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> Department of Education N\u0101 Hopena A\u02bbo<\/span><\/a> place-based policy and the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL<\/abbr><\/a>) standards. We are in the process of seeking approval from the Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> Teacher Standards Board so MMPP<\/abbr> graduates may earn their TESOL<\/abbr> license.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa vision statement, Ka lamak\u016b o ke aloha \u02bb\u0101ina:<\/span> A leading light of aloha \u02bb\u0101ina<\/span> for Hawai\u02bbi<\/span>and the world, is central to this certificate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis graduate certificate is grounded in the belief that UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa should be a leader in this respect and must cultivate deep understanding, respect for, and competencies in this place\u2019s cultural and linguistic diversity and interconnectedness,\u201d said Dina Yoshimi<\/strong>, associate professor and director of the Hawai\u02bbi<\/span>Language Roadmap. \u201cThis vision will only be enhanced if we better understand each others\u2019 languages, cultures and various \u2018rich knowledge systems\u2019 to serve our local and global communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

This program is an example of UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa\u2019s goal of Enhancing Student Success<\/a> (PDF<\/abbr><\/span>), one of four goals identified in the 2015\u201325 Â鶹´«Ã½<\/a> (PDF<\/abbr><\/span>), updated in December 2020.<\/p>\n
