Rodriguez and Garcia - Hyperlinks

                     After Reading the article by Rodriguez and Garcia, translanguaging is a new term to me. The story that was told by Rodriquez was interesting and it is not a story that you hear everyday. Translanguaging can help more people than we think. It is a way to communicate between to people who are bilingual and also people are only know one language. It is usually used at home but using this in the classroom would solve many problems between the students and there teacher. Translanguaging in the classroom would make the children more comfortable and there success would shine in the classroom. https://blog.languagelizard.com/2011/08/27/5-tips-to-help-bilingual-children-shine-in-the-classroom/
