Translanguaging: The Teacher’s Role in the Classroom

Category

This is a very accessible 5 minute video that connects the academic research on translanguaging with teacher practice.  It emphasizes 'linguistic wealth' through harnessing all the languages in our students' repertoire.  It also  advocates for teacher modelling with respect to linguistic curiosity  and metalinguistic awareness, and promotes the value of inter-language such as 'Spanglish'.
