Translanguaging
(When a multilingual person's full linguistic repertoire is used and honored)
We take into consideration the connotation and denotation of the words in both Spanish and English when making a decision.
We consider the ways that the student will use the word in a sentence.
Spanish language, English language, and the Computer Science terminology are all considered.
CS Spanish Dictionary
We created a dictionary to serve the needs of multilingual learners.
This dictionary acts as a consistent reference when translating our curriculum.
It takes a village
We rely on a network of educators to translate our curriculum.
