[edit]Use footnotes instead of last names and years for in-text citations.
I think the material in this paragraph is redundant to the other paragraphs in this section can be integrated into them:
“Baker (2003) explained that translanguaging means using both languages without separating them into different areas. This is different from what many sociolinguists believe, which is that separating languages is the best way to keep bilingual societies stable (Fishman, 1967). Baker said that using translanguaging in teaching can help people understand better, improve their bilingual skills, and create a bilingual identity. The model suggested that one language be used for input and the other one for output.Williams and Baker showed that this idea could change how we think about bilingualism, which used to be based on using only one language. Welsh teachers realized that separating languages stops bilingual people from using all their language skills and makes them feel like a minority (García, 2009).”
Specifically, move the parts about how languages were separated to the paragraphs that discuss that. Move the parts that discuss the benefits of translanguaging to the paragraphs that already discuss that. Lndmayg (talk) 14:31, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
