About this title

Synopsis

The concept of translanguaging—using a child’s full linguistic repertoire, or all of their linguistic resources, to make meaning—is key to bilingual students’ success in school and beyond. Created by some of the most prominent leaders in the field of educating bilingual students, this second edition provides the foundational knowledge teachers need to understand translanguaging and use it strategically and meaningfully to support bilingual learners.
