Translanguaging is the process whereby multilingual speakers use their languages as an integrated communication system.[1] Translanguaging is an extension of the concept of languaging, the discursive practices of language speakers, but with the additional feature of using multiple languages, often simultaneously. It is a dynamic process in which multilingual speakers navigate complex social and cognitive demands through strategic employment of multiple languages. It is believed that the term was first coined in Welsh by Cen Williams as trawsieithu in his 1994 unpublished thesis “An evaluation of teaching and learning methods in the context of bilingual secondary education.”
