Attend the next virtual Plurilingual Lab Speaker Series Talk:

"Promoting Multiliteracies Through Translanguaging Pedagogy"

with Marianne Turner of Monash University

This free event will take place on May 26 (Thursday), 5:00-6:30pm (EDT, Montreal) via Zoom.

In countries such as Australia, language attrition amongst second generation immigrants is very common, and by the third generation it is almost complete (Eisenchlas, Schalley & Guillemin, 2013). Cross-generational language practices can thus shift towards the dominant language until the minoritized language practices fade away. Translanguaging pedagogy, or leveraging students’ linguistic repertoire holistically for learning, seeks to counteract this shift by disrupting a deficit view of diverse language practices.
