Translanguaging: A Discussion with Ofelia Garcia

Loy Lising speaks with Ofelia García about translanguaging. The conversation addresses 3 big questions: What is translanguaging? How is translanguaging different from codeswitching? What are the pedagogical implications of translanguaging? How can we engage those who are uncomfortable with translanguaging because to them it distracts from the objective of ensuring that language learners learn languages as proficiently as they can, for full social and economic participation in society?
