Trans-languaging 101
To understand the implementation and
oversight of a new translanguaging initiative
If you’ve been around the Bilingual Ed and TESOL conference circuit for the past 5 years, you’ve heard the term and yet you’re still not exactly sure what translanguaging is or looks like. You aren’t alone: translanguaging offers teachers an effective set of tools and strategies to expand the linguistic landscape for their MLLs, and yet it remains one of the most widely misunderstood pedagogies out there. Consider booking this workshop if you’re ready to do some UN-learning about bilingual ed theories and practices that encourage the strict separation of languages.
In this workshop, we will cover:
The leading scholarship on translanguaging
Hear Lillian in conversation with the leading scholars on translanguaging (a video-series only available through this workshop)
Common myths and misunderstandings of translanguaging
Activities, games and discussion circles
…for participants to model the tools and get immediate feedback from Lillian
Demos on how it works
These show translanguaging works in practice, across a range of grade-levels and content areas
Here is a sneak peak of what you’ll get with this workshop
