DESCRIPTION:Plurilingual and Translanguaging Approaches in TESOL: What Does
  Classroom Research Show about Benefits and Challenges?\n\nTESOL has witne
 ssed a shift on approaches to language teaching in recent years\, from mon
 olingual English-only to pluri/translingual. While theories such as pluril
 ingualism and translanguaging are not new\, English language teachers may 
 still be unsure of the benefits of these approaches on student learning an
 d/or how to best implement them in the classroom. In this talk\, I draw on
  research that I have conducted with teams of ESL teachers and school stak
 eholders to show how plurilingual approaches can be implemented in practic
 e\, both face-to-face and online. I also show results of studies that sugg
 est several benefits of this type of instruction: compared to an English-o
 nly approach\, a plurilingual approach has significant positive effects on
  students’ vocabulary learning and plurilingual and pluricultural competen
 ce. Moreover\, a plurilingual approach can enhance students’ English langu
 age learning\, cognition\, criticality\, and empathy\, among other factors
 . Challenges and implications will be discussed.\n\nAngelica Galante is an
  Assistant Professor in Language Education and TESOL at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ\
 , Canada. Her research focuses on language teacher and learner empowerment
 \, and on the effects of plurilingual and translingual approaches on stude
 nt learning. At 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ\, Angelica is Director of the Plurilingual Lab wher
 e she and her team mobilize research knowledge and teaching resources. She
  has published in journals such as TESOL Quarterly\, International Journal
  of Multilingualism\, and Applied Linguistics Review.\n\nRegister today!\n
