Abstract

Kazakhstan is now embracing a trilingual education policy through the use of Kazakh, Russian, and English as mediums of instruction. The policy expects multilingual practices from the teachers of content disciplines; however, the same cannot be said for English language teachers. English language teachers are still trapped in English-only practices, making them rely on only the target language when teaching. I, as a Kazakhstani teacher who worked in a trilingual school, decided to challenge this monolingual perspective and try to incorporate multilingual practices into my teaching. In this article, I present my reflections on my past and current teaching beliefs and propose that multilingual practices in the form of pedagogical translanguaging can be seen as legitimate teaching strategies that can be part of ELT classrooms.
一位哈萨克斯坦英语教师对多语言实践的看法
哈萨克斯坦现在实行三语教育政策,使用哈萨克语、俄语和英语作为教学媒介。政策要求内容学科教师进行多语言实践;然而,英语教师就不是这样了。英语教师仍然受困于“纯英语”的实践,在教学中只能依靠目的语。作为一名在三语学校工作的哈萨克斯坦教师,我决定挑战这种单语观点,并尝试将多语实践融入我的教学中。在这篇文章中,我对我过去和现在的教学信念进行了反思,并提出以教学翻译的形式进行的多语言实践可以被视为合法的教学策略,可以成为英语教学课堂的一部分。
