‘Translingual Practice in the ESL/EFL context’

Translingual practice—in its many guises as translanguaging, plurilingualism,
or metrolingualism—has contributed significantly to our understanding of
verbal resources in communicative practice. Challenging traditional
understandings of language relationships in multilingualism, which postulates
languages maintaining their separate structures and identities even in
contact, translingualism looks at verbal resources as interacting
synergistically to generate new grammars and meanings, beyond their separate
structures. According to this definition, the prefix “trans” indexes a way of
looking at communicative practices as transcending autonomous languages. An
emergent second definition focuses on the need to transcend verbal resources
and consider how other semiotic resources and modalities also participate in
communication. Another approach focuses on transcending the text/context
distinction and analyzing how diverse semiotic features previously relegated
to spatiotemporal context actively participate in communication. A fourth
meaning that is becoming significant is how semiotic resources transform
social structures. In this case, “trans” indexes “transformation” and
challenges understandings of language as regulated or determined by existing
contexts of power relations.

In light of the promotion of the use of English as medium of instruction
(‘EMI’) and the internationalization of English language education across the
globe, there has been a growing interest in multilingual speakers’ utilization
of multiple linguistic and semiotic resources in undertaking academic studies
and fulfilling responsibilities as academics. This conference welcomes
submission of works that appreciate and examine the issue of translingual
practice in the ESL/EFL context.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

- Policy/Practice tensions relating to language in education
- Teachers’ translingual practices in delivering EM programmes
- University academics’ translingual practices in academic publishing
- Students’ translingual practices in academic studies
- The use of L1s in translingual practices
