Abstract
Although English-medium instruction, or EMI, is often believed to be an English-only environment, the existence of multiple languages and language practices involving translanguaging are, in fact common in many such classrooms. In this seminar, the three editors of the recently-plublished volume "English-Medium Instruction and Translanguaging" (Paulsrud, Tian and Toth 2021) will address some of the definitions, methodologies, and ideologies involved as well as providing an overview of the volume. Following this, authors from five of the chapters will briefly present their empirical studies, including how translanguaging has been understood and approached in the various educational levels and contexts with different named languages represented. The presentation will end with a discussion of the studies’ theoretical and pedagogical contributions to how translanguaging can be understood and applied in diverse contexts, and reflections regarding future directions for the research field.
