Translanguaging is an asset-based approach to teaching that "invites" rather than "allows" ALL languages into the classroom and instruction.

It sends a clear message that every language is important.

You don't have to be bilingual to translanguage!

Monolingual teachers can adopt a translanguaging approach in their classrooms by encouraging students to use all their linguistic resources and valuing all languages.

When students feel self-conscious about their language, they go quiet. This @edutopia video shows what a classroom looks like when a teacher builds lessons specifically to make mistakes feel safe.

TED ED reports that communication is the number 1 most rank skill by employers. In classrooms surround the world, we can support students by creating opportunities for students to develop effective communication skills.

Students love language learning when they feel confident and have plenty of opportunities to practice on their own in small groups building whatever they want with it. Our job is to give them the tools and then get out of the way as much as teacherly possible.

From risawoods_ on IG: “SHARE this with your teacher friends!

If you know me personally, you know I can come up with a fun activity in no time. I had an extra 20 minutes that I didn’t know about last week and came up with this on the spot. Took no plan time and materials I already had.

And the best part, my students who are learning English and my disabled students could all participate. I almost wish I kept the original audio in so you could hear how hard they were all laughing.

It was the perfect way to build a classroom culture of enjoying each other and being able to make mistakes/laugh at yourself.

Please steal this activity for yourself!”
