Abstract:

In this linguistic ethnography of bilingual science learning in a South
African high school, the author connects microanalyses of classroom discourse
to broader themes of de/coloniality in education. The book challenges the
deficit narrative often used to characterise the capabilities of
linguistically-minoritised youth, and explores the challenges and
opportunities associated with leveraging students’ full semiotic repertoires
in learning specific concepts. The author examines the linguistic landscape of
the school and the beliefs and attitudes of staff and students which produce
both coloniality and cracks in the edifice of coloniality. A critical
translanguaging lens is applied to analyse multilingual and multimodal aspects
of students’ science meaning-making in a traditional classroom and a study
group intervention. Finally, the book suggests implications for decolonial
pedagogical translanguaging in Southern multilingual classrooms.
