🌍 What does translanguaging actually look like

🌍 What does translanguaging actually look like in a real classroom?
Not a buzzword. Not chaos. Just strategic bilingual brilliance. 💬✨

In this episode of the Equipping ELLs podcast, we’re walking you through a real-life content-area lesson where translanguaging helps multilingual learners THRIVE.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
🧠 What translanguaging is (and what it’s not)
📚 How to support reading in both English & native languages
🗺 Ways to use dual-language labeling, vocab, & discussions
🤝 How to build trust and boost engagement across levels

You’ll hear exactly how to apply this in a 5th-grade unit on explorers—step by step.

🎧 Want your ELLs to engage more deeply and feel seen? This episode will help you make that happen.
