Translanguaging in today's multilingual classes - Students' perspectives of classroom management and classroom climate

Although several approaches for addressing students' multilingualism have been proposed, their implementation in class has often been challenged, with classroom-related concerns voiced over key dimensions of teaching quality. This study investigates the relationship between a teaching unit including translanguaging and students' perceptions of teaching quality in multilingual elementary school classes in Germany. Using data from an intervention study involving 48 classes and 865 students, the results provide empirical evidence to allay concerns over implementing translanguaging in multilingual classrooms, enhancing the understanding of the connection between translanguaging and teaching quality.
