"Translanguaging in ECE, a project designed to create safe environments where children can feel proud of their identity, express their ideas in multilingual and multimodal ways while making meaning of their world.”
Translanguaging in Schools
Translanguaging, as a pedagogy, has been growing during the last decade, and even though it brings light to the second language learning field, sometimes it can be challenging to imagine ways in which it can be implemented in early childhood institutions. This section will support you in the journey of bringing translanguaging alive!
Implementation
The environment plays a crucial role in implementing translanguaging. Everything and everyone involved should take action in order to promote a safe environment where students can blossom.
Challenges
No one said it was going to be easy, but it is not impossible. It takes courage to row against the flow, but in the end, it is worth it. Big challenges can overcome with perseverance, congruence and patience.
The role of the teacher
Teachers are at the center of implementing translanguaging in schools. They are the essential key to thriving. Therefore, they should always be guided and supported in the process of implementing translanguaging.
