This book offers a potential avenue for advancing translanguaging pedagogies through teacher-researcher partnerships. While the existing literature acknowledges the significance of these partnerships, there is a need for more comprehensive research that delves into the intricate processes of designing and implementing translanguaging pedagogies in primary and secondary school settings (K-12) across diverse international contexts. By expanding the focus on teacher-researcher collaboration and the negotiation process, the book uncovers the opportunities and complexities involved in creating contextualized translanguaging designs that align with broader ideological discourses and systemic structures. Through the promotion and illustration of teacher-researcher partnerships as a means of improvement and transparency, the chapters in this book showcase the potential of translanguaging pedagogies in classrooms and contribute to challenging the linguistic hierarchies prevalent in educational institutions today.
