Content-based Instruction

The use of students' full range of linguistic resources through translanguaging pedagogy may have implications for students' content learning as well as language development, making this a matter of interest for researchers and teachers alike. In the present chapter, we explore the potential role of translanguaging in English-medium instruction (EMI) programmes, focusing specifically on the use of translation as part of a translanguaging theory and pedagogy. The chapter has a four-part structure: historical perspectives, research approaches and key findings, pedagogic approaches and methods, conclusions and future directions.
