Introduction to Translanguaging in the EFL/ESL Classroom [RELO Andes Webinar - July 2017]

In this webinar, we introduce the concept of translanguaging in the EFL classroom which is the simultaneous use of more than one language to make meaning. Through the presentation, we will provide examples of how teachers have used translanguaging practices to help students learn English. These examples are taken from observations and research done in Puerto Rico and Peru. It will also be discussed the role that Spanish has played in EFL classrooms and how it has been used to bridge the gap between two languages.
This webinar for English language teachers was hosted by the Regional English Language Office at the US Embassy in Peru.

In 2021, december! It is really very important to reflect about a person's skill on speaking beyond his/her native language, I mean, to speak other language that is not his or her. That's a fact that we always have new and different kind of knowledges we tend to discover!. Greetings from Amazonie in north of Brasil!
