Translanguaging in Action in English-Medium Classrooms: A Resource Book for Teachers

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.
