Abstract:

Over the past 40 years, Jim Cummins has proposed a number of highly
influential theoretical concepts, including the threshold and interdependence
hypotheses and the distinction between conversational fluency and academic
language proficiency. In this book, he provides a personal account of how
these ideas developed and he examines the credibility of critiques they have
generated, using the criteria of empirical adequacy, logical coherence, and
consequential validity. These criteria of theoretical legitimacy are also
applied to the evaluation of two different versions of translanguaging theory
– Unitary Translanguaging Theory and Crosslinguistic Translanguaging Theory –
in a way that significantly clarifies this controversial concept.
