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. (15)
Translanguaging is a pedagogical approach that utilizes learners'
full linguistic repertoires to enhance learning. Here are five ways to
incorporate translanguaging in lessons:
1. Language Scaffolding: Use learners' home languages to scaffold
learning (García & Li, 2014). Provide explanations, instructions, or
summaries in both the language of instruction and learners' home
languages to ensure understanding.
2. Bilingual Resources: Utilize bilingual resources such as books,
posters, or multimedia materials that are available in both the
language of instruction and learners' home languages (Baker,
2011). This helps learners access content in a familiar language,
making learning more accessible and meaningful.
3. Peer Collaboration: Encourage peer collaboration where learners
can use their home languages to explain concepts or help each
other understand content (Creese & Blackledge, 2010). This
promotes a supportive learning environment where learners feel
comfortable expressing themselves in their preferred language.
