What Does Translanguaging Look Like in the Classroom? 5 Practical Examples

In this video, I share five practical examples of translanguaging that teachers can use to help multilingual learners strengthen engagement, achievement, and belonging. We’ll look at how students can use their full linguistic repertoires to process ideas, take notes, compare languages, conduct research, and collaborate with others. And no, you do not need to speak all of your students’ languages to make this work. 📘 FREE GUIDE: 10 Examples of What Translanguaging Actually Looks Like https://conex-usconsulting.com/transl... 🎓 Go deeper with The Translanguaging Mindset My self-paced professional development course explores the theory and practice of translanguaging and helps educators design learning for multilingual humans. 👉 Course: https://conex-usconsulting.com/transl...

But English is not the destination. The future is multilingual. And our teaching needs to reflect that. I’m Patrice. My work focuses on multilingual education and professional development, especially translanguaging and multilingual learning. I speak six languages, and I have master’s degrees in International Business and the Globalization of Education. I help schools move from saying they value multilingualism to actually designing for it. 💬 Question for you: What does translanguaging currently look like in your classroom or school?
