Building Classroom Culture through Translanguaging: Theory to Practice
Holly Hansen-Thomas; María-Elena Gómez-Parra
TESOL Press
"Building Classroom Culture Through Translanguaging: Theory to Practice" is a comprehensive guide for educators who want to create inclusive and effective classrooms that celebrate the diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds of their students. It introduces the concept of translanguaging, a pedagogy that moves beyond traditional methods by encouraging students to use their full linguistic repertoire. Educators learn how to leverage students' existing languages to enhance learning and comprehension, develop strategies to create a more inclusive classroom, implement translanguaging strategies, and foster an educational environment that reflects the linguistic and cultural diversity inherent in today's globalized society. By presenting real-world examples, pedagogical tools, and numerous hands-on activities, "Building Classroom Culture Through Translanguaging" empowers preservice teachers, in-service teachers, and teacher trainers to make informed choices, fostering a community of reflective practitioners committed to enhancing the quality of education for all.
