Description
This Design-Based Research examines how two racialized multilingual researcher-practitioners co-enacted a translanguaging praxis of discomfort to teach sociolinguistics to Japanese exchange students in Canada. Findings highlight the transformative power of critically leveraging a translanguaging lens, genAI and translation tools, and dialogically collaborating to address linguistic and ideological tensions while fostering students’ critical consciousness within a safely uncomfortable educational space.
