Ms. Renu in her class V tells a story in English and asks her students to tell the story in their language. She then asks them to tell the story in group of five by taking turns. What strategy does she follow in her class room? Correct Answer Translanguaging

Translanguaging is something most people do all the time with their friends, family and other members of the community without even thinking about it. In the classroom, translanguaging may involve translating between languages and comparing and being playful with different languages.

Key Points 

  • ‘Translanguaging’ is a relatively new term for an age-old practice – that of switching between the languages one knows in order to maximize communicative potential.
  • Translanguaging is flexible multilingualism. It involves combining elements from different languages and using the languages of learners to teach-learn content and languages.
  • As a resource for both teachers and students, translanguaging has many educational benefits because it validates multilingualism, viewing it as a valuable asset rather than a problem or a temporary transitional interactional tool in early schooling.
  • It represents more efficient and effective teaching and learning technique that is possible in one language only and offers opportunities for individuals to develop rich and varied communicative repertoires for use within and outside school.

Hence, it is clear that she is following translanguaging in her classroom.

Additional Information

  • Multilingualism is the ability to use more than two languages. Multilingualism is constitutive of the identity of a child and a typical feature of the Indian linguistic landscape must be used as a resource, classroom strategy, and a goal by a creative language teacher.
  • The term ‘bilingualism’ has now, however, come to be accepted as the standard cover term for referring to all situations involving two languages. In a bilingual classroom, two languages, one that is to be learned and the other mother-tongue, are used.
  • A group is a collection of individuals who work together so as to contribute towards a common aim or goal under the direction of a leader. Group work serves as an important tool to make learning meaningful by working together. In groups, students work collaboratively and involve in active learning.
