It presents groundbreaking avenues for leveraging students' home, first, or minority languages as valuable tools for meaningful scientific learning. Moreover, it encourages the exploration of language resources and other multimodal resources, such as gestures and body language, to enhance communication and understanding in science education. The book also critically examines and problematizes the contingent hindrances and obstacles that may arise from these practices within diverse global contexts. This includes a review of different theoretical frameworks that may be challenged by such an approach. These issues are approached from multiple perspectives and methodological foci, encompassing primary, middle, secondary, higher education, and after-school programs for refugee teenagers. Within these diverse educational contexts, the book showcases and shares a wide array of educational tools and activities in science education, including teacher-led classroom talk, language-focused teaching, meta-language usage by teachers, scaffolding strategies, small-group interactions, and computer-supported collaborative learning. By highlighting and disseminating these effective practices, the volume aims to contribute to the improvement of science education for multilingual learners worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 594g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030829728\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103405633786,"sku":"9783030829728","price":102.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_00b5b3c0-2289-4603-8493-a5c66849e494.jpg?v=1669552332","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/translanguaging-in-science-education-9783030829728","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
