Course : Translanguaging in the Greek EFL classroom

Professor PhD Ofelia García gives a talk on the topic of translanguaging. The talk was recorded during the international ring lecture MuDiLe (Multilingualism and Diversity Lectures) 2017 which took place at the University of Hildesheim (Bühler Campus) from 6/7/2017 to 9/7/2017.

When we leave behind the monolingual bias, a new world full of possibilities emerges. The webinar will discuss some of these possibilities by exploring the concepts of ELF and translanguaging, showing how they are connected, and providing practical ideas of how to use translanguaging practices in the classroom.

Professor Li Wei is Chair of Applied Linguistics and Director of the UCL Centre for Applied Linguistics at the UCL Institute of Education, University College London, UK, and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences, UK. His co-publication Translanguaging: Language, Bilingualism and Education won the 2015 British Association of Applied Linguistics Book Prize, and his current work focuses on the creativity and criticality of multilingual and multimodal language users.
