MODULE CODE: TPN3704
1.1 Define the term translanguaging in your own words.
Translanguaging is when a multilingual person’s full linguistic repertoire is used and
honoured, instead of trying to keep narrowly focused on a single language.
1.2 Define the purpose of the study
The purpose of this study was to explore the enablers and constraints of using
learners’ home languages as a support strategy to facilitate learning and teaching
within multilingual classrooms and thereby developing both L1 and the English
language within the framework of additive multilingualism. The study sought to gain a
comprehensive understanding of how teachers manage translanguaging in their
classrooms and how learners in multilingual classrooms learn by using L1 to
facilitate the learning process.
1.3 Name data collection methods used in the study. (10
Ethnography comes from anthropology, the study of human societies and cultures.
Ethnography seeks to understand how people live their lives. Through this method,
researchers veer away from the specific and practical questions that traditional
market researcher’s use and instead observe the participants in a no directed way.
This approach is intended to reveal behaviours from a subject’s perspective rather
than from the view of the researchers. Ethnography helps fill in the blanks when a
participant may not be able to articulate their desires or the reasons for their
decisions or behaviours. Instead of, or in addition to, asking why a participant acts a
certain way, researchers use observation to understand the why behind these
desires, decisions, or behaviours. Semi-structured interviews, classroom
observations, teachers’ observation feedback sheet and storyboards were used as
data collection methods.
1.4 Do you think translanguaging was or will (be) possible in your
classroom? If yes, Why? If no, Why? (8
Yes, in the school that I am doing my practice in, translanguaging is possible
because all the learners have the same additional language and home language.
Learners come from many different language backgrounds, which could be
problematic but the fact that one language is considered as a home language
teacher in the school helps teachers because they all have the same home
language. Then the English language increases gradually until it reaches 50 percent
at the upper elementary grade levels. The 50/50 model provides instruction equally
in the partner language and English. These strict language allocation policies may
limit opportunities for students, teachers, and administrators to use translanguaging
practices in the classroom. S·nchez, GarcÌa and Solorza suggest that language
