In this episode of 'All Things EAP', Carrie Qian and Paul Breen explore the meaning and relevance of translanguaging in today’s higher education and EAP environments. They do this through an interview with both academics and students, including Professor Li Wei, the Director and Dean of the UCL Institute of Education (IOE). This is truly global episode in which we hear voices from Europe, eastern Asia and The Middle East discussing the subject from a range of perspectives including pedgaogical, ideological and technological considerations. We unlock the mystery and make this highly contemporary academic term accessible to everyone.
