dc.description.abstract | The topic of translanguaging has gained great relevance in the field of second language acquisition in the last few years. Authors such as Blackledge and Creese (2010), Mazak and Herbas-Donoso (2015), Velasco and García (2014), and Canagarajah (2011) have analyzed translanguaging as a learner’s practice in educational contexts. Nevertheless, the influence of this practice in the development of language skills like writing has not been greatly explored; “(…) Translanguaging in writing deserves further analysis and research to understand why not all students make use of their full linguistic repertoires.” (Velasco & García, 2014 P.21). This case study took place in two sections of the basic English course INGL 3102. Students in their first year are the usual population of this course, mainly aimed to study the basic principles of English grammar. The data was collected online through a questionnaire, a survey, individual interviews, and writing samples. During the data analysis, it was found that some students employed translanguaging practices during the development of their texts in English, at different stages, and for various purposes, such as word retrieval and multilingual repertoire expression. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | El tema del translenguaje ha adquirido gran relevancia en los últimos años en el campo de la adquisición de un segundo idioma. Autores como Blackledge y Creese (2010), Mazak y Herbas-Donoso (2015), Velasco y García (2014) y Canagarajah (2011) han analizado el translenguaje en contexto de educación como una práctica de los aprendices. Sin embargo, la influencia de esta práctica en el desarrollo de habilidades lingüísticas, como la escritura, no ha sido muy explorado. Este estudio tuvo lugar en dos secciones del curso de inglés básico INGL 3102. Estudiantes de primer año son la población común de este curso, que está principalmente orientado al estudio de los principios básicos de la gramática en inglés. Los datos fueron compilados a través de un cuestionario, una encuesta, entrevistas individuales y muestras de escritura. Durante el análisis de los datos se encontró que algunos estudiantes emplearon prácticas de translenguaje durante la producción de textos en inglés, en diferentes etapas y con diversos propósitos. | en_US |
