From Patrice Thompson
Patrice is an international educator with more than 15 years of experience across multilingual school contexts, and a published author on translanguaging in international schools. Translanguaging is a teaching approach for every subject, not an EAL-only strategy.
The basics
Translanguaging is the intentional use of a multilingual learner’s full linguistic repertoire as a resource for thinking, learning, and communicating. In classrooms, students might process ideas in one language, discuss them in another, compare language structures, or use multilingual resources to deepen understanding.
It is more than translation, and it is not an EAL-only strategy. Teachers of every subject can use it.
