TRANSLANGUAGING, MULTILINGUALISM AND EDUCATION 

A TALK BY PROFESSOR OFELIA GARCÍA

Ofelia García is an internationally known scholar of bilingual education, language policy, multilingualism, and sociology of language. Her concepts of dynamic bilingualism and translanguaging have contributed significantly to understanding the complex language practices of bilingual and multilingual people. She and JoAnne Kleifgen co-founded the Center for Multiple Languages and Literacies at Teachers College.

This presentation will consider translanguaging theory and the shifts in language-thinking that it entails. It will also propose translanguaging pedagogical practices to teach language-minoritized multilingual students.
