This 2022 academic article (by Jerry Won Lee) describes how applied linguistics researchers have been limited in their assessment of translanguaging in the classroom, by methodologies that bias their conclusions.  He feels that unimaginative approaches to researching translanguaging has resulted in an unfortunate dismissal of its value.  He argues that very few research studies have addressed the complexities of  pedagogical translanguaging or related it to the reality of pluralingualism inherent in human interaction globally.
