think about the opportunities

Powerful analogy on #translanguaging by @nordmeyerj: our students can make meaning when they have access to one crayon (language) in the classroom, but think about the opportunities you open up when you allow them to use all their crayons (languages). @ECISMLIE #ECISMLIE19 pic.twitter.com/15JIMgUIy0

multilingual students in expert roles

Translanguaging can help students build metalinguistic awareness, help monolingual students see the significance of multilingualism and places multilingual students in expert roles.https://t.co/B1F1Xb2UoU#translanguaging
