ABSTRACT

This is a review of the monograph Translanguaging in EFL contexts: A call for change by Michael Rabbidge. The book delves into translanguaging practices in an unexplored context: South Korean English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes through the examination of translanguaging strategies, as well as South Korean teachers’ perspectives on the use of their linguistic repertoire shaped by their life experience in their country affected by globalization and neoliberalism. It argues that the transformative nature of translanguaging is possible only when both teachers and students are allowed to use their full linguistic repertoire in EFL classrooms.

摘要

这是对专着Translanguaging in EFL contexts: A call for change by Michael Rabbidge 的评论。这本书深入探讨了未经探索的语境中的跨语言实践：韩国英语作为一门外语 (EFL) 课程通过跨语言策略的检查，以及韩国教师对其语言技能使用的看法，这些观点是由他们的生活经历塑造的。他们的国家受到全球化和新自由主义的影响。它认为，只有当教师和学生都被允许在 EFL 课堂​​上使用他们的全部语言技能时，跨语言的变革性质才有可能。
