To Explore the Practice of Translingual Pedagogies for Second Language Teaching in Multilingual Classrooms: Students' Perspective

Abstract

    In a multilingual classroom where students have diverse linguistic backgrounds, teaching in the English language is very challenging, especially when the medium of instruction is English or a second language. There are a number of research studies focused on this linguistic issue. One of the emerging strategies to deal with multilingual students is translanguaging where students can build their own repertoire of language to make and build meaning. This study will focus on the student’s perspective about translingual pedagogy. The questionnaire will be used to investigate if the students were given the chances of translingual strategies, and effective they thought those strategies were. The observations will help to get the data from another angle. The results provide the data that students are mostly in favor of the translingual strategies yet they are not provided much chance to use the native language.
