Description
Research shows that translingual practices (TPs) enhance learning by increasing students’ metacognitive, metalinguistic, and sociolinguistic awareness. They increase student participation and foster a democratic, decolonized linguistic ecology in classroom spaces. TPs also develop a ‘translingual disposition,’ promoting respect for other languages and cultures. However, the persistent presence of linguicism associated with EMI in South Asia is alarming. The presentation calls for a constructive dialogue on recognizing TPs in South Asian language-in-education policies.
