Overview

Qualitative analysis reveals that translanguaging enhances ESL education in multilingual settings, suggesting curriculum reform.

Key Points

  • Translanguaging improves ESL literature learning, despite institutional reluctance to adopt it.
  • Findings indicate that only 2% of teachers regularly use translanguaging methods in township high schools.
  • Qualitative research incorporated questionnaires and classroom observations to assess translanguaging's impact.
  • The study calls for the Department of Education to include translanguaging in curriculum frameworks and teacher training.
