Translanguaging and Disciplinary Literacies: Exploring and Leveraging Translanguaging Across Disciplinary Contexts

Sat, April 18, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

A wealth of research demonstrates that emerging bilingual students benefit from full access to their linguistic resources in a variety of disciplinary contexts (e.g., Authors, 2015; Espinosa & Herrera, 2016; Welch, 2015). To extend this work, this session aims to explore the ways that translanguaging practices intersect with and support disciplinary practices and literacies. Identifying these intersections could support emerging bilingual students in disciplinary activities, framing their everyday linguistic practices as core aspects of disciplinary activities. In this session, we explore syncretic design approaches (Gutíerrez & Jurow, 2016) that bridge translanguaging and disciplinary practices. These designs support emerging bilingual students and, in some cases, their monolingual peers as well.
