MULTILINGUALISM AND TRANSLANGUAGING IN CHINESE ...

This book presents new research on Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) teaching from an
ethnographic classroom study on classroom translanguaging practices that highlights the policy
and pedagogical implications of adopting a creative and principled multilingual approach.
Drawing on a case study from Hong Kong  it analyses naturally observed language patterns in CSL
classrooms and the attitudes of students and teachers towards prescribed classroom language
policies  and thereby demonstrates the importance of mixing Chinese  English and students' home
languages to achieve successful second language learning. It discusses the nature and guiding
principles for classroom translanguaging research and provides research tools that will enable
second language teachers to examine their own language practices. The author argues
persuasively that second language teaching practices and policies must reflect the current
reality of language use and the diverse learning needs of multilingual students. This book will
appeal to teacher educators and researchers in fields such as second language acquisition 
foreign language teaching and language policy.
