Theory and approaches

The present study extends the focus in pedagogical translanguaging to an under-researched multilingual community-based language learning setting designed for refugee, heritage and immigrant communities. Through the prioritized uses of multiple codes, the study shows how translanguaging is used for constructing Arabic L2 knowledge and negotiation of meaning and identities.
