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 91ºÚÁÏÍø\
 , Canada. Her research focuses on language teacher and learner empowerment
 \, and on the effects of plurilingual and translingual approaches on stude
 nt learning. At 91ºÚÁÏÍø\, 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
