Description

The concept of translanguaging--using a childs full linguistic repertoire, or all of their linguistic resources, to make meaning--is key to bilingual students success in school and beyond. Created by some of the most prominent leaders in the field of educating bilingual students, this second edition provides the foundational knowledge teachers need to understand translanguaging and use it strategically and meaningfully to support bilingual learners.



A revised and updated new edition of a highly influential bestseller, this book is ideal for pre- and in-service educators of Grades 4-12 in English-medium and bilingual classrooms. Educators will discover how asset-based translanguaging pedagogies can level the playing field for bilingual students and help them develop essential skills in all their languages--all while honoring their identity and culture.



LEARN HOW TO:




  • Help bilingual students become better readers and writers by accessing different features of their languages

  • Plan and implement effective translanguaging designs for instruction

  • Integrate mandated standards into translanguaging instructional designs

  • Support bilingual students as they engage with and comprehend complex content and texts

  • Use translanguaging design for assessment to holistically evaluate students content and language learning

  • Leverage translanguaging to support social justice and social-emotional well-being
