Prof Li Wei (University College London): Translanguaging: Transforming the way we think and talk about language, bilingualism and education
Abstract
Translanguaging as a theoretical concept is meant to prompt us to rethink what language is in the 21st century and by implication how bilingualism and bilingual education should be conceptualised, practised, and researched. This talk reviews the origins and developments of the concept of Translanguaging and explores some of the implications by looking at language teaching and learning in diverse contexts. Methodological considerations will also be discussed.
Organised by the Dept of Linguistics & Centre for Multilingualism, University of Konstanz & the Marie Curie ITN project 'The Multilingual Mind' (765556).
