Translanguaging in Schools: Strategies for Connecting Languages in Bilingual/Dual Language Classrooms
This session will explore how teachers can use translanguaging to help students connect their learning in two languages. We will examine a few concrete examples to connect Spanish and English, but these ideas can be applied to any two languages.
- Review the role translanguaging plays in bilingual classrooms and how to create a translanguaging space
- Engage in strategies that encourage the use of translanguaging to support bilingual development in school and at home
- Learn how to strategically plan opportunities for translanguaging in a culturally and linguistically diverse environment
