This qualitative case study challenges monoglossic teaching practices in mainstream classrooms with emergent bilingual learners. I examine how pre-service teachers in a California teacher education course took up a culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogy (CLSP) that centers students' identities, cultures, and language practices, as well…

Adopting translanguaging as a pedagogical practice may help teachers overcome challenges existing in Indonesian EFL. However, the implementation of translanguaging pedagogy is complex. Although translanguaging often occurs spontaneously in EFL teaching practices, most educational institutions and stakeholders still perceive a monolingual approach…

Despite the acknowledged effectiveness of translanguaging as scaffolding in language education, research on how specific scaffolding strategies are integrated into pedagogical translanguaging in English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) classrooms remains limited. This article bridges this gap by uncovering how scaffolding strategies are manifested…

This study brings together translanguaging and critical multilingual language awareness (CMLA) (García, 2015, 2017) to examine how teacher candidates (TCs) prepare to support multilingual learners in elementary classrooms. Data was drawn from four TCs in a teacher education course on supporting multilingual learners in Ontario, Canada. Research…

Translanguaging pedagogy has been shown to promote second language (L2) writing development (Garcia, 2014; García & Kano, 2014; Turnbull, 2019; Zhang, 2019). This study examines how exposure to translanguaging pedagogy influenced Kurdish EFL learners' engagement in collaborative writing during a seven-week intensive academic English writing…

This literature review synthesizes scholarship on standard language ideologies in college writing programs and the theories and pedagogies being proposed to disrupt such ideologies. Findings include a tension between belief and action, or that professors' awareness of language diversity does not translate into changes in pedagogy. This is due to…

Understanding and affirming the assets of emerging bilingual learners (EBLs) and resources are often not part of preservice teacher (PST) preparation, particularly for preservice secondary teachers (Newman et al., 2010). The authors of this article designed two Grand Seminars to support PSTs to begin to develop a translanguaging mindset and to…

Children's language practices are critical to identity and can be prioritized by incorporating a translanguaging lens into elementary classrooms. Such incorporation varies based on an educator's awareness and skill set, making it essential for pre-service teachers (PSTs) to learn to create linguistically safe spaces. This article discusses…

Translingual pedagogies have been proposed and implemented to respond to the increasing linguistic and cultural diversity in today's classrooms. However, the findings of translingual pedagogies on English as an additional language (EAL) writing vary from facilitating to undermining teaching and learning. To understand the empirical landscape of…

Tertiary-level English medium instruction (EMI) presents an opportunity for both EMI and science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) pedagogies: tertiary STEM needs student-centred strategies familiar to EFL, whereas tertiary EFL can harness the innate complexity of STEM towards complex language production. With the aim of achieving coequal…

Anglophone Higher Education Institutions have embraced cultural diversity but continue to approach linguistic diversity through a deficit perspective, often treating multilingualism as an obstacle rather than a resource (Preece et al., 2018). This paper argues for the adoption of a linguistic repertoires perspective in learning development to…

The research reported on in this article examines the attitudes towards student linguistic diversity and multilingual pedagogies of 30 university lecturer participants enrolled for an accredited short course on multilingual pedagogies at a South African institution. The aim of the course is to support lecturers in helping students gain access to…

This study aims to investigate how pedagogical translanguaging in language education constructs a translanguaging space to mediate and reduce extraneous cognitive load in EFL classrooms. Using a descriptive qualitative design, classroom observations and video-stimulated recall interviews were conducted with Indonesian university students. Data…

Drawing on surveys and interviews with college writing instructors and students at a public university in the United States, this mixed methods study revealed that in many cases instructors adopted translingual orientations, whereas students were committed to norms in their views of writing across differences. Students' orientations to language as…

The languaging curriculum involves learning to strategically make use of available tools and resources to successfully do things with English for real-world purposes. In this article, we describe how languaging was implemented in a task where students communicate about a hobby of their choice on Reddit discussion forums. Over three weeks, the…
