Funds of Knowledge as a Scaffolding Pedagogical Strategy: How Teachers Bring their Funds of Knowledge into the Classroom

Zahra Karimi, 2021

Despite frequent references to the field of Persian language education, it is only in the past decade that scholars have conducted empirical research on Persian language teaching. Like teachers of other foreign languages, Persian language teachers base their teaching methodologies on their expertise, practical experiences, and students' needs. They not only teach about the language, but they also portray the social, cultural, and educational contexts in which they were born, grew up, and were educated. This ethnographic article describes the teaching practices of three teachers of Persian as a heritage language at the beginning level. First, I investigate the language teaching methodologies each teacher applies in their classroom. Second, I discuss the ways that teachers bring various forms of funds of knowledge (Moll et.al. 1992) into their teaching journey. I also explore if and how the funds of knowledge of Persian language teachers are integrated into their teaching activities and materials in their classrooms.
