Abstract

In this chapter, we examine the affordances of a culturally sustaining, collaborative translanguaging activity to elicit and develop the metalinguistic awareness of emergent bilingual students (EBs). Drawing on data drawn from multiple iterations of the same intervention at three different sites, we explore ways that three key mechanisms support students’ metalinguistic awareness: multimodality, dialogism, and affirming participation structures. Finally, we identify implications for practice and future research.
