Translanguaging

You can actually have a lot of translanguaging happening in an English as a mode of instruction classroom because that's what translanguaging does.

It creates the environment for a student to show up as fully who they are fully while learning another language and still building from what they know.

So the Translanguage in Classroom is an amazing book that Dr. Ofelia Garcia, Dr. Susana Ibarra-Johnson, and Dr. Kate Seltzer developing in the second edition.

Actually, Dr. Seltzer and Sensei Moreno did an article that I love, and I always like to share this article with everybody, and it's called Always at the Bottom, How Our Multilingual Learners Always Look When You Look at Data.

that they are at the bottom, but we need to look underneath the data to truly discover the gift, the knowledge, the experiences that actually our kids come with so much knowledge, things that probably many adults in the United States would never imagine that can be leveraged to really uplift creativity.
