Part 1 of this four-part series* lays the groundwork for a comprehensive exploration of translanguaging theory, empowering participants to embrace and celebrate the linguistic diversity within multilingual immigrant communities. The knowledge acquired will serve as a foundation for subsequent sessions, where you will delve deeper into practical strategies and applications for better incorporating home languages of students into English language development instruction.
After Part 1, participants will be able to:
- Articulate the core tenets of translanguaging theory, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its principles and implications.
- Examine the intrinsic link between translanguaging theory and the unique strengths, challenges, and linguistic practices of multilingual immigrant communities.
- Critically reflect on how translanguaging theory can be applied to your own educational practices, paving the way for inclusive and equitable learning environments.
