The imprtance of l1 in learning language through trans languaging

Translanguaging is a teaching strategy in which students are encouraged to use their own language in learning a particular language. The concept of translanguaging was first used in 1994 by Welsh teacher Gene Williams, who refers to the practice of alternating between English and Welsh in language classes.
