Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article, we present an analytical approach that focuses on how transnational and translingual learners mobilize their multilingual, multimodal, and multisemiotic repertoires, as well as their learning and work experiences, as resources in language learning. The approach is that of translanguaging, which seeks to push the boundaries not only between different named languages but also between different modalities and across language scripts and writing systems. We base our arguments on a study of self-directed learning of Chinese via online platforms in the context of mobility and aim to demonstrate the transformative capacity of translanguaging. In doing so, we highlight the need for a transdisciplinary approach to language learning that transcends the boundaries between linguistics, psychology, and education, and in particular, the need to go beyond the artificial divides of the different modalities of language learning to strengthen the connections between research on bilingualism and multilingualism and research on language teaching and learning.

语言学习无国界:跨语言视角

在这篇文章中，我们提出了一种分析方法，重点关注跨国和跨语言学习者如何调动他们的多语言、多模态和多符号库，以及他们的学习和工作经验，作为语言学习的资源。这是一种跨语言的方法，它不仅试图突破不同命名语言之间的界限，而且还试图突破不同形式之间的界限，跨越语言脚本和书写系统。我们基于对流动背景下通过在线平台自主学习汉语的研究，旨在证明跨语言的变革能力。在此过程中，我们强调需要一种跨学科的语言学习方法，超越语言学、心理学和教育学之间的界限，特别是需要超越语言学习不同模式的人为划分，加强双语和多语研究与语言教学研究之间的联系。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Applied Linguistics publishes research on key topics in the broad field of applied linguistics. Each issue is thematic, providing a variety of perspectives on the topic through research summaries, critical overviews, position papers and empirical studies. Being responsive to the field, some issues are tied to the theme of that year''s annual conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics. Also, at regular intervals an issue will take the approach of covering applied linguistics as a field more broadly, including coverage of critical or controversial topics. ARAL provides cutting-edge and timely articles on a wide number of areas, including language learning and pedagogy, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, language assessment, and research design and methodology, to name just a few.
