Translanguaging: Language, Bilingualism and Education (Palgrave Pivot), 2014th Edition:
Summary: “Translanguaging: Language, Bilingualism and Education” explores the concept of translanguaging, which refers to the phenomenon where multilingual individuals use their full linguistic repertoire in communication. This book delves into the theoretical underpinnings of translanguaging and its implications for language education, particularly in bilingual and multilingual contexts. It examines how individuals navigate and negotiate meaning across languages, challenging traditional notions of language separation and monolingual ideologies. Through case studies, empirical research, and theoretical discussions, the book provides insights into the complex dynamics of language use and identity construction in diverse educational settings. It offers educators and researchers a deeper understanding of translanguaging practices and their potential for promoting linguistic diversity and inclusivity in education.
Authors: Ofelia García is one of the authors of this book. She is a prominent scholar in the field of bilingualism and multilingual education, known for her pioneering work on translanguaging.
