Abstract

Este paper presenta el trabajo que hemos realizado en los últimos 7 años analizando un programa Summer Language Academy (SLA) que diseñamos to empower newcomer y emergent plurilingual students y maestres from 3 districts in California. El objetivo era crear espacios donde maestres y estudiantes embrace y co-construct languaging practices. Al observar las interacciones entre les estudiantes y maestres constatamos que la pedagogía de translanguaging helps to: 1) equip participants para desmantelar monolingual ideologies, 2) capitalizar el valor de los linguistic repertoires de les estudiantes e 3) prepara a les participantes to create comunidades lingüísticamente inclusivas. Co-authored by a plurilingual team, this paper challenges readers to stretch their own linguistic repertoire and work towards radically inclusive pedagogies, practices, and policies.
