@UdLCLA I mean, perhaps we should focus on the objective of communication: is it to sound like a native or to be an effective speaker? It's time to move away from deficiency-oriented views in FLT and to embrace our students’ plurilingual repertoires to empower them as FL users😛💪🏽🔥

[CLA: Cercle de Lingüística Aplicada @UdLCLA]

Our colleagues @ThaisNeor , JM Cots & Àngels Llanes have just published an insightful study on students' #stance on #translanguaging🗣️, revealing that there is a continuum of positions but an ingrained dominance of #monolingual mindsets

Thais Mena presented the findings of her first pilot study with the #GLOCIC group. Using other languages in the classroom does not interfere with development of the English language, let’s promote #plurilingualism 🔝

[CLA: Cercle de Lingüística Aplicada @UdLCLA]

We’re back with exciting memories! Our CLA members Àngels Llanes and @ThaisNeor presented in #AAAL2022. Their study aimed at exploring the use of #monolingual and #plurilingualassessment approaches in #productivetasks in English. Thanks for your insightful contributions🤩
