Translation as a Generative Construct for Lesson Ideas
Author(s): A UCLA Design Research team led by Marjorie Faulstich Orellana
Abstract:
These are lessons that we developed in collaboration with classroom teachers to build on language experiences of children of immigrants, especially as translaters, interpreters, and language brokers. These lessons are designed to expand students' linguistic repertoires and apply them to academic literacies.
Support for the design research that tested these lessons in Los Angeles classrooms came from the Linguistic Minority Research Institute and the UCLA Academic Senate.
