Translanguaging Communities, Language in Community Festival

Saturday, 22nd June, 2024 — Angliss Neighbourhood House (Unit 2/11 Vipont St, Footscray VIC 3011)

Is fluency a prerequisite for passing on heritage languages to future generations?

In this workshop, Associate Professor Julie Choi and Jodie Whitehurst addressed this misconception and discussed how translanguaging can aid in maintaining heritage languages both at home and within the community. A/Prof Julie Choi began the session with a brief presentation on translanguaging, which was followed by interactive activities conducted by Drama in Education expert Jodie Whitehurst.
