Abstract

The study reports how an ESOL teacher engaged in translanguaging shifts in a content and language integrated learning classroom in the United States. The study findings, from ethnographic methods and conversation analysis, indicated that the teacher engaged in translanguaging shifts centring on the students’ learning needs. She created a co-learning environment in which she and the students co-developed a poem in an English and a bilingual version. In the process of co-creation, not only did the students learn new content, but their identities were valued and affirmed. With her strong translanguaging stance, the teacher let go of control and learnt from the students instead. Based on the findings, I provide recommendations and practical suggestions for teachers, teacher educators, and school leaders. I argue that translanguaging shifts play a crucial role in translanguaging pedagogy. However, teachers cannot work alone in their implementation; it requires different stakeholders to work together–juntos to ensure student success.
以学生需求为中心,进行语言转换
本研究报告了一名 ESOL 教师如何在美国的内容与语言整合学习课堂上进行语言转换。通过人种学方法和会话分析得出的研究结果表明,该教师以学生的学习需求为中心进行了语言转换。她创造了一个共同学习的环境,在这个环境中,她和学生共同创作了一首英语版和双语版的诗歌。在共同创作的过程中,学生们不仅学到了新的内容,他们的身份也得到了重视和肯定。教师以其强烈的翻译语言的立场,放弃了控制,转而向学生学习。根据研究结果,我为教师、教师教育工作者和学校领导提供了建议和实用意见。我认为,转换语言的转变在转换语言教学法中起着至关重要的作用。然而,教师在实施过程中不能单打独斗,而是需要不同利益相关者携手合作,共同确保学生取得成功。
