Abstract In this study, we use a transmodal lens to investigate how emergent bilingual (EB) preschoolers employ diverse bodies of knowledge, modalities, and languaging practices to engage in show-and-tell presentations. We also investigate the role of translanguaging in support of children's communication and interaction in this activity. Video data of show-and-tell activity in two dual language preschool classrooms were analyzed for the actional, verbal, and visual modes used by children as well as for features of their transmodal repertoire. Qualitative analyses revealed specific patterns in EB children's employment of multimodal resources, in response to presentation purposes and show-and-tell routines and structures. Children's translanguaging practices were flexible and supported their presentation purposes and participation across show-and-tell routines. Findings have implications for ways of facilitating show-and-tell and how teachers can promote students’ transmodal practices in support of their learning and engagement in this activity.

“要我给你看吗？”：新兴双语学龄前儿童在展示和讲述活动中的多模式资源

摘要 在这项研究中，我们使用跨模态镜头来研究新兴双语 (EB) 学龄前儿童如何利用不同的知识体系、模式和语言实践来参与展示和讲述演示。我们还调查了跨语言在这项活动中支持儿童交流和互动的作用。分析了两个双语学前班课堂中展示和讲述活动的视频数据，了解儿童使用的动作、语言和视觉模式以及他们的跨模态曲目的特征。定性分析揭示了 EB 儿童使用多模式资源的特定模式，以响应演示目的和展示和讲述程序和结构。孩子们' 的跨语言实践是灵活的，支持他们的演示目的和参与展示和讲述程序。研究结果对促进展示和讲述的方式以及教师如何促进学生的跨模式实践以支持他们的学习和参与这项活动具有影响。
