Ten years of translanguaging
Marking a decade since the publication of Translanguaging: Language, Bilingualism, and Education, this forum revisits the evolution of translanguaging as a theoretical, pedagogical, and sociopolitical framework. Drawing on a dialogue with Ofelia García and Li Wei, the discussion reflects on how translanguaging has reshaped understandings of multilingualism, language education, and linguistic justice across diverse contexts. The exchange examines …
Emergent gendered AI learning ecologies in AI-mediated writing tasks
This study investigates how generative AI shapes participation, authorship, and gendered agency in two parallel first-year English cohorts at a Saudi public university. Adopting a critical comparative case study design, one male and one female class engaged in an identical translanguaging-oriented intervention incorporating structured ChatGPT use in drafting and revision. Data comprised pre- and post-AI texts, online discussions, reflections, and…

Bogged down ELT, bailed-out CLT
With over 17 million children learning English, Bangladesh has one of the world’s largest English-learning populations. However, despite this, the country faces challenges in achieving the optimal level of English proficiency. English language teaching (ELT) initiatives in Bangladesh, which have evolved over time, can be broadly classified based on the Grammar-Translation Method, Communicative Language Teaching, and the English in Action project.…
Creativity, criticality and translanguaging in assessment design
This article presents an assessment design that embraces creativity, criticality, and translanguaging as guiding principles. The design was implemented in the language and content learning classrooms of three Bangladeshi universities. Although the design indicates considerable pedagogical and social benefits, the participants demonstrated conflicting attitudes from the individual, institutional, and ideological dimensions towards implementing suc…
Translanguaging in instruction and pedagogic design
This study investigated the impact of translanguaging pedagogy on the reading comprehension process of first-year students studying at an English department of a Bangladeshi public university. Through a two-pronged ethnographic research design, data were collected through classroom observation, pedagogical intervention, a semi-structured interview with the class teacher and a focus group discussion with students. The entire data set was analyzed …
Blending translanguaging and CLIL
The study employed a blended approach of translanguaging pedagogy and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in an Anthropology class of a Bangladeshi public university. Data were collected through classroom observation, a pedagogical intervention, a focus group discussion with six students, and a semi-structured interview with the class teacher. The results show that the blended approach created a dynamic learning space in an otherwise …
Centering southern perspectives in translanguaging research
The last decade has witnessed the momentum of “trans-” turn in applied linguistics and language education. Within these conversations, the term translanguaging—as practice, theory, and pedagogy—articulates a paradigmatic shift in how we think about language(s) and how we can serve multilingual learners in ways that are more humanizing and justice-oriented. While there has been an exponential growth in translanguaging research, the majority of the…
Classroom interaction in an online context
Linguistic ecology of Bangladeshi higher education
This article reports on findings from a larger study that explored the promise of translanguaging pedagogies at two public and two private universities in Bangladesh. Four language learning and four content acquisition courses offered in the first year of undergraduate programmes were observed. A ‘Russian doll approach’ was employed to analyse the macro, meso and micro levels of policy decisions and implementation to build two robust case-studies…
Translanguaging as a Transformative Act in a Reading Classroom
This study investigated the role of translanguaging pedagogy in reading comprehension of first-year students studying in an English medium classroom of a Bangladeshi private university. Data were collected through classroom observations, pedagogical intervention, focus group discussion with students and a semi-structured interview with the class teacher. The notions of ”translanguaging space” and ”critical instances” were used to analyse the data…
A pedagogical perspective on the connection between translingual practices and transcultural dispositions in an Anthropology classroom in Bangladesh
The study investigated integrating a combined approach of translingualism and transculturalism in an anthropology content learning classroom of a Bangladeshi private university. Data were collected from classroom observation, a pedagogical intervention, a focus group discussion with six students, and a semi-structured interview with the class teacher. The analysis of the observation data demonstrated several attempts at integrating translingual-t…
