The authors explored how teachers in Spanish-English dual language elementary classrooms made sense of the everyday practice of bilingualism by drawing on the notion of translanguaging to describe how these teachers and their students moved fluidly across multiple languages and dialects in their everyday interactions.Abstract:
This article draws on qualitative data from two Spanish-English dual language elementary classrooms to explore how teachers in these classrooms made sense of the everyday practice of bilingualism. Methodologically, this study relied on participant observation, video recording, and semi-structured interviews. Conceptually, this article draws on the notion of translanguaging to describe how these teachers and their students moved fluidly across multiple languages and dialects in their everyday interactions.

The transformative limits of translanguaging
TL;DR: The authors argue that translanguaging is likely to be less transformative and socially critical than is suggested, because translangaging research has more in common with the monolingual authorities it criticizes than it may seem, because it trades on causality effects that cannot be taken for granted, and because translaguaging, in some of its representations, is becoming a dominating rather than a liberating force.
