Question 1
1.1. In the South African context, we often have classrooms with diverse cultures and languages.
Some learners may be more proficient in their home language than in the language of instruction.
Name and discuss five ways in which you would incorporate translanguaging in your lessons, to
bridge the language gap and ensure that all learners are catered for in a multicultural
classroom.
In a multicultural classroom setting in South Africa where learners may have varying levels of
proficiency in the language of instruction, incorporating translanguaging can be a beneficial strategy
to bridge the language gap and cater to all learners.
Here are five ways to effectively incorporate translanguaging in lessons:
Multilingual Resources: Utilize multilingual resources such as books, posters, and
educational materials in different languages spoken by the learners. This allows students to
connect their home language with the language of instruction, making learning more accessible
and relatable.
Language Mixing Activities: Encourage students to engage in language mixing activities
where they can express themselves using a combination of languages they are comfortable with.
This can include writing assignments, group discussions, or presentations that allow for the use
of multiple languages.
Peer Collaboration: Foster peer collaboration by pairing students who speak different
languages together for certain activities. This collaboration can help students learn from each
other, practice different languages, and build a supportive learning environment that values
linguistic diversity.
Translanguaging Assignments: Assign tasks that require students to use translanguaging,
such as writing a story in their preferred language and then translating it into the language of
instruction. This approach allows students to express themselves authentically while also
developing proficiency in the target language.
Translanguaging Reflections: Incorporate opportunities for students to reflect on their
translanguaging practices. Encourage them to discuss when and why they switch between
languages, how it helps them communicate effectively, and the importance of embracing their
multilingual identities.
By implementing these strategies, teachers can create an inclusive and supportive learning
environment that values students' linguistic diversity, promotes language development, and ensures
that all learners are catered for in a multicultural classroom setting.
