Reviews for Translanguaging: Language, Bilingualism and Education

This is a must read for everyone interested in an innovative social and psychological approach to the study of doing language and learning. - Elizabeth Lanza, University of Oslo and Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan, Norway An exhilarating and authoritative look into translanguaging as creative, critical, and transformative. - Nancy Hornberger, University of Pennsylvania, USA Ofelia Garcia and Li Wei have just managed to write the book that will definitely inscribe the concept of 'translanguaging' in the heuristic landscape of Language Education. -Language and Intercultural Communication Garcia and Wei effectively argue that translanguaging is clearly a process that advocates for polymorphus language learners and is indeed worth serious consideration in our current educational system.' - Hispania
