The purpose of this book is to promote the value of translanguaging in EFL teaching contexts. It will examine the teaching beliefs and practices of teachers within a South Korean elementary school context to evaluate the practices of current teachers who use translanguaging strategies when teaching.
"The critical sociological analysis, linking micro-classroom processes to larger socio-ideological issues; linking classroom interaction patterns to teacher socialization and teacher belief formation and change. These are new elements that will make this work a unique resource."
