It is at work in all aspects of classroom life. The students use their linguistic sources when they engage with texts, and when they write or create something new."]]> 2018-02-25 15:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sielucios/s2z2m2smmb5r/wish/235103797 My insights sielucios https://padlet.com/sielucios/s2z2m2smmb5r/wish/235172814 I will engage my PLC members with the following observations:
  • If the L2 students can use their language repertoire through translanguaging in the classrooms, they will be able to show what they know and help them in the process of acquire a second language
  • Teacher can not know all the languages of students in the classroom but they can equip the classrooms with books and signage in many languages 
  • The students will have a fuller understanding of reading texts written in L2 if they have encouragement to use language in the ways they prefer
  • Bilingual students are better thinkers if encouraged to research topics in any language 

In my personal experience, I see my 8 year old son using code-switching and translanguanging all the time. I used to think that it could be negative or it was because he had two different repertories, but after reading this material, I understood that he has one repertoire with entwined linguistic features. In fact, he is able to distinguish which linguistic features of his repertoire to use in different situations.
