"Trans" + Languaging: "Beyond" Dual Language Bilingual Education
Solorza, Cristian R.
Journal of Multilingual Education Research, v9 Article 15 p99-112 2019
Ofelia García calls for a re-imagining of bilingual education by challenging how teachers conceptualize, facilitate, and listen to language use in classrooms. Educators attempt to legitimize students' authentic, fluid, and dynamic language practices through translanguaging, but "non-standard" named language varieties are still marginalized in classrooms. Using the prefix "trans"+, García pushes us to look "beyond" bilingual education to critically challenge hegemonic language ideologies and to break from the monoglossic status quo within dual language bilingual education. Bilingual educators are tasked with envisioning language pedagogies that keep our emergent bilingual students "whole," as they learn to leverage and expand their linguistic repertoires.
