Description

How can we truly see and value a student’s holistic linguistic identity? This session introduces the Translanguaging Self Hypothesis, a groundbreaking theory that redefines multilingualism as an integrated state of being (who we are!). We demonstrate how Digital Language Portraits provide a transformative window into learners' minds, moving beyond labels to honor their unique multilingual resources, learning journeys, and identities. We then unveil a vision for an AI-powered Translanguagingbank—a collaborative database to share insights globally. Join us to help build the future of equitable, identity-affirming education.
