Pedagogical Translanguaging in a Puerto Rican University Classroom
While interest in pedagogical translanguaging has grown, it continues to be an underresearched area of study. The purpose of this study is to better understand student response to the use of strategic and pedagogically informed translanguaging practices in the university-level classroom. This article takes an in-depth look at the coursework and attitudes of four student cases within a single psychology classroom at the University of Puerto Rico a…
Language Policy in Puerto Rico's Higher Education
This paper investigates the relationship between meso university language policies in Puerto Rico and their micro instantiations in an undergraduate psychology classroom. We describe a typology of language policies used by 38 universities and campuses in Puerto Rico where their openness allows for flexible implementation of everyday micro policy. We then focus our attention on a linguistic ethnography of a psychology course where translanguaging …

Translanguaging Practices and Language Ideologies in Puerto Rican University Science Education
The undisputed position of English as the “international language of science” has resulted in a push for its use in college science classrooms in non-English-dominant contexts worldwide. This study uses classroom observation and interviews to examine the use of Spanish and English in college science classrooms at a land-grant university in Puerto Rico. Using an ecology of languages framework, and particularly drawing on Hornberger's Continua of B…
My Cousin Talks Bad Like You
This ethnographic case study uses participant observation and interviewing to explore the multiple, complex relationships between language and identities in a particular Puerto Rican community. Participants included students and teachers from a K–9 school-turned-community center in a rural municipality in Puerto Rico. Participants did not think that one had to be a native Spanish speaker to be Puerto Rican and English was not necessarily a threat…
