Translanguaging, Multimodality and Affect in School and Community Learning Ecologies

Thu, April 9, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 308A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The six papers in this session integrate translanguaging theory with multi-modal conversation analysis (C. Goodwin 2018). Relying on video-recorded classroom interactions collected in classrooms in school and community settings, they focus on how translanguaging (García & Li 2015) expressed through verbal, visual, poetic, and embodied forms enters into the situated learning and teaching of different kinds of subject area content – reading, science, and heritage languages – as sequentially unfolding, affectively-laden, embodied, collaborative, and interactionally achieved processes in classrooms. They contribute new perspectives on how translanguaging alters classroom participation frameworks, student engagement, connectedness, and learning.
