About this listen
As a language learner in the classroom, you may feel like you’re starting from no language skills and a lot of confusion. However, as Dr Kaitlyn Zavaleta and Dr Tracey Costley discuss, even a new learner is bringing in language skills from other languages. When a language teacher encourages the use of other, non-target languages, they allow for "translanguaging". In these scenarios, translanguaging allows speakers to use other languages to communicate more effectively.
