Cultivating Authentic Language Practices: Learning From Community Translanguaging Practices Outside of Schools
Thu, April 21, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Building, Lobby Level, Presidio 1 & 2Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
Translanguaging continues to face resistance—in both research and practice—as an educational means for language instruction (Cummins, 2019; MacSwan 2017) as opposed to more traditional and prescriptive forms of engaging with emergent multilinguals. However, as a theory that originates from people’s lived experiences, it provides a unique lens for understanding how people language in everyday encounters when there are no imposed parameters (e.g., named languages, specific language allocation policies). This session features five studies that move beyond the school to highlight the organic nature of translanguaging in homes and communities across distinct linguistic communities and national contexts. The session showcases the transformative and dynamic ways in which people translanguage in daily life while highlighting implications for educational research/practice.
