教学转译已成为促进英语教学可持续发展的重要策略。本研究采用混合方法,在上海某国际学校的金融英语课堂上进行,调查了学生在课堂互动中的跨语言实践,以及他们对跨语言作为一种交际和教学策略的态度。本研究利用录像辅助课堂观察和半结构化访谈,揭示了参与者的跨语言实践的动机是易于沟通,由语境资源促进,并反映了他们的策略操纵的语言资源在他们的剧目。数据还表明,参与者普遍积极的跨语言作为一种辅助理解和内容学习的增强。然而,有些与会者对接受转换语言作为一种标准、正式的语言选择表示保留。研究结果表明,英语教师应认识到学生的语言资源的整体,并将其纳入课堂活动,以促进双文和学术内容的学习。
Pedagogical translanguaging has emerged as an important strategy facilitating the sustainable use of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in educational settings. This mixed-method study, conducted in an EMI finance classroom at an international school in Shanghai, China, investigates the translanguaging practices of students in classroom interactions as well as their attitudes toward translanguaging as a communicative and pedagogical strategy. Drawing on video-assisted classroom observations and semistructured interviews, this study reveals that the participants’ translanguaging practices are motivated by ease of communication, facilitated by contextual resources, and reflect their strategic maneuvering of the linguistic resources in their repertoires. The data also suggest that the participants are generally positive about translanguaging as an aid in comprehension and for the enhancement of content learning. Some participants, however, expressed reservations about the acceptance of translanguaging as a standard, formal linguistic choice. The findings suggest that EMI teachers should recognize the linguistic resources of students in their entirety and incorporate them into classroom activities to promote biliteracy and the learning of academic content.
