  • What

This engaging and informative program is designed to equip educators with the knowledge and strategies necessary to create an inclusive and effective learning environment in multilingual classrooms.

In today’s globalized world, classrooms are becoming increasingly diverse, with students speaking multiple languages. Translanguaging is an innovative approach that recognizes and values the linguistic resources that students bring to the classroom. It encourages students to use their entire linguistic repertoire to facilitate learning, rather than strictly separating languages.

Throughout this course, participants will delve into the theoretical foundations of translanguaging and explore practical applications in the context of a multilingual classroom. By embracing translanguaging strategies, educators can create a rich and supportive learning environment that enhances students’ language proficiency, cognitive development, and cultural understanding.

Join us on this transformative journey as we explore the power of translanguaging to foster linguistic and cultural inclusivity in the multilingual classroom. Enroll today and take a significant step towards becoming a more effective and empathetic educator.
