Implications of Translanguaging as a Classroom Pedagogy

Siqi Yu

Abstract


Translanguaging is the action whereby learners draw upon anything from their linguistic and semiotic repertoire to facilitate learning. According to recent studies, it has various benefi ts in EFL classrooms both from the perspective of classroom management and the effi cacy of teaching. This research aims to clarify translanguaging, discuss its benefi ts and challenges when it is used as a classroom pedagogy, understand its perceptions from the perspective of teachers and students, and the research gap is proposed in the end.
