Emerging

Research Findings 

• Learners function using their native or primary language at home and in their community (Garcia, 2009)

• Translinguling begins to appear, which is when a multilingual person's full linguistic repertoire is used instead of trying to keep narrowly focused on a single language (de los Rios and Selzer 2017, 58). 

• Learners benefit from translanguage pedagogy with authentic language practices that allow them to utilize their valuable assets of linguistic and cultural knowledge and resources
