Multi-competence, translanguaging and mobile self-directed learning
This is a conceptual paper that aims to extend the concept of Linguistic Multi-Competence and advance Translanguaging as a research perspective. It focuses on the theoretical foundations of Translanguaging and explores the implications for language teaching and learning in particular and for bilingualism and multilingualism research generally. Empirical examples from self-directed mobile language learning will be used to demonstrate the added value of the Translanguaging approach.
