Abstract:

This book explores evidence-based, research-informed practical
applications of translanguaging pedagogies in a variety of TESOL
contexts, including perspectives from scholars in the Global South.
Providing insights for teachers and educators into the strategic
development of concrete, situated translanguaging approaches, it also
explores the challenges of implementing equitable and effective
language teaching and learning.
Starting by asking, 'What is translanguaging as theory and pedagogy?'
and 'Why does it matter in TESOL?' this book considers translanguaging
at various educational levels from elementary and secondary classrooms
to teacher education. Global contributors examine practices for an
international understanding of translanguaging pedagogy, with case
studies from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and Southern America.
Through offering both general guidelines and concrete
translanguaging-in-action examples, each chapter encourages teachers
and educators to reimagine and redesign their classroom spaces. They
are also given self-guided resources for professional development,
making this book ideal as a introductory resource for teacher
education programmes.
