Title: Article: Bringing Translanguaging into Dual Language Education Programs
Body:
Ingrid T. Colón writes, "Translanguaging is the process by which bilingual students use their languages in conjunction and rather than keeping them separate. Dr. Ofelia García, a professor of Urban Education and of Latin American, Iberian, and Latino Cultures (LAILAC) at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, suggests that bilingual students should be able to translanguage in the classroom—that is, they should be able to use both of their languages to communicate what they know and can do.
"Translanguaging happens fluidly in the classroom, but teachers can also support translanguaging by intentionally guiding students to use all of their linguistic abilities. For example, teachers can ask students to write stories with bilingual characters who use both of their languages. The intentionality behind this teaching practice is to provide a flexible and comfortable space for students to fully share what they know across all of their languages.
"However, translanguaging is often not promoted within dual language education (DLE) programs. Many DLE programs emphasize strict language allocation policies that limit the use of the partner language during English time and vice versa."
