Have you heard of the term “Translanguaging?” In this episode, we are going to explore this emerging concept in language teaching with Dr. Uju Ayna, an Associate Professor of Second Language Acquisition at Carnegie Mellon University. She helps us to understand exactly what Translanguaging is and how beneficial it can be in the process of acquiring language.
Topics include:
- what translanguaging is and how it is not synonymous with translation
- benefits of translanguaging for teachers and learners
- envisioning translanguaging in our language classrooms
- examples of how teachers can effectively incorporate translanguaging techniques to enhance language acquisition goals
- Dr. Anya’s article on Critical Race Pedagogy for More Effective and Inclusive World Language Teaching in Applied Linguistics, Volume 42, Issue 6, December 2021
