Translanguaging in Action: Pedagogy That Elevates
Dougherty, Jessica
ORTESOL Journal, v38 p19-32 2021
Developing the skill set of ESOL and bilingual educators is a critical task considering ESOL/bilingual education is a continually expanding field. Culturally and linguistically responsive teachers benefit from acquiring knowledge and expertise in a variety of ESOL and bilingual approaches in order to meet student needs in PK-20 educational systems. The use of translanguaging in ESOL and bilingual classrooms is investigated in this small-scale, qualitative research project. This article explores teacher candidates' experiences implementing the translanguaging approach during their clinical experience. The research investigates the benefits of creating a space for multilingualism in educational settings, employing effective translanguaging strategies, and discusses the results of these actions. A suggested instructional plan is outlined for applying translanguaging in the classroom. Recommendations are made for including the translanguaging approach in professional learning, pedagogical practices, and practitioner reflection.
