The Translanguaging Classroom Institute: El translenguaje at the Intersection of Practice, Power, and Possibility
Translanguaging is a powerful practice--full of possibility to expand and deepen teaching and learning in any classroom, any program, any home, and any community learning space!
The 2027 Translanguaging Classroom Institute invites you to explore how translanguaging can transform teaching and learning across general education, special education, ESL/ESOL, bilingual, and dual language classrooms. This year's theme, El translenguaje at the Intersection of Practice, Power, and Possibility, examines relationships across the many dimensions of students' educational experiences in our multilingual communities. Through engaging discussions, research-informed strategies, and practical classroom applications, participants will explore ways to leverage students' full linguistic repertoires to deepen learning, expand access to academic content, and strengthen language and literacy development.
Join a community of researchers, practitioners, cultural workers, and educational leaders from across the country to exchange strategies, ideas y buenas vibras, to challenge assumptions, and to discover new possibilities for education.
Are you interested in exploring innovative translanguaging pedagogy that fosters language inclusivity, social justice, and equity in research and teaching endeavors? Look no further, join us during the summer 2024 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
