Abstract

Background: Translanguaging is "the act performed by bilinguals of accessing different linguistic features or various modes of what are described as autonomous languages in order to maximize communicative potential" (Skutnabb-Kangas et al., 2009). Translanguaging can be used as a tool to empower undergraduate nursing students to use their chosen strongest written language for assignments.

Method: Students in an undergraduate nursing elective course at a large, public urban university could submit specific noncollaborative (solo) assignments in their language.

Results: Three students in a class section of a total of nine students chose to submit one or more assignments in a language other than English. Students reported that this experience was unique and empowering. The instructor noted a difference in the writing level in the language of choice other than English.

Conclusion: Nursing educators should consider allowing and/or encouraging students to submit specific written assignments in their chosen language. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(X):XXX-XXX.].

护理本科课堂中的跨语言教学：教育创新。

背景：Translanguaging 是 "双语者为了最大限度地发挥交际潜力，使用不同的语言特点或被称为自主语言的各种模式的行为"（Skutnabb-Kangas 等人，2009 年）。Translanguaging 可以作为一种工具，帮助护理专业本科学生在作业中使用自己选择的最强书面语言：方法：在一所大型公立城市大学的本科护理选修课上，学生可以用自己的语言提交特定的非协作性（单独）作业：结果：在一个共有 9 名学生的班级中，有 3 名学生选择用英语以外的语言提交一份或多份作业。学生们表示，这种体验很独特，也很有力量。指导老师注意到，用英语以外的语言进行写作水平有所不同：护理教育者应考虑允许和/或鼓励学生用自己选择的语言提交特定的书面作业。[J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(X):XXX-XXX.].
