Learning through the medium of a second or additional language is
becoming very common in different parts of the world because of the
increasing use of English as the language of instruction and the
mobility of populations. This situation demands a specific approach
that considers multilingualism as its core. Pedagogical
translanguaging is a theoretical and instructional approach that
aims at improving language and content competences in school
contexts by using resources from the learner's whole linguistic
repertoire. Pedagogical translanguaging is learner-centred and
endorses the support and development of all the languages used by
learners. It fosters the development of metalinguistic awareness by
softening of boundaries between languages when learning languages
and content. This Element looks at the way pedagogical
translanguaging can be applied in language and content classes and
how it can be valuable for the protection and promotion of minority
languages. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge
Core.
