Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to a virtual book launch celebrating the upcoming publication of Translanguaging in Action in English-Medium Classrooms<https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/translanguaging-in-action-in-englishmedium-classrooms-9781350453586/>: <https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/translanguaging-in-action-in-englishmedium-classrooms-9781350453586/> A Resource Book for Teachers<https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/translanguaging-in-action-in-englishmedium-classrooms-9781350453586/>.

⏰ 4:00–5:30 PM (EST)
📍 Zoom (free registration)
👉 Register here: https://rutgers.zoom.us/meeting/register/npTGBhrSQQeWmbeYRZMvcg#/registration
This book is written with teachers and teacher educators in mind. It brings together evidence-based, research-informed, and classroom-tested examples of translanguaging pedagogies across a wide range of TESOL contexts—from elementary and secondary classrooms to teacher education—drawing on perspectives from scholars and educators across the Global South and Global North.
At the launch, we will be joined by Dr. Ofelia García, along with contributing authors, to reflect on:

  *
what translanguaging looks like in action,
  *
how teachers can design concrete, situated translanguaging practices, and
  *
how educators can navigate the challenges of equitable language teaching.

The session will include brief remarks, conversation with contributors, and a chance to win a free copy of the book.
Please see the flyer attached for more details, and feel free to share this invitation widely with your networks.
Whether you’re teaching multilingual learners, preparing future teachers, or leading professional development, we hope this session offers ideas you can take back to your own context.
