Towards Pedagogies of Translingual Practice
Led by Dr. Suresh Canagarajah
Saturday, October 12, 2013 · 9 AM - 2 PM
Off Campus
As scholars conceptualize multilingual competence in new ways, a term coming into prominence is translingual practice. The term helps us consider languages as always coming into contact, generating, new forms and meanings through their synergy. In this workshop, we will analyze transcripts of classroom interactions and literacy practices to consider the ways in
which a translingual competence can be developed among students. We will
also discuss questions relating to the social and educational
appropriateness of these pedagogical approaches.
