“…In regard to identity, empirical studies on language and identity in multilingual higher education constitute a recent hot topic. For example, Dubiner (2021), drawing upon both interviews and questionnaires, shows that Arabic-Hebrew bilinguals in universities have different ideas about the connection between language and identity. The keywords ideology, teacher, and language policy all appear in Mazak and Carroll's (2016) groundbreaking book, which, rather than simply regarding translanguaging as a linguistic ideology, was the first to explore translanguaging in higher education.…”

The study of translanguaging in education has drawn increasing attention from scholars, particularly in the past decade. The present research conducted a comprehensive scientometric analysis using the CiteSpace application to investigate the multifaceted phenomenon of translanguaging in the context of education. It addresses the pressing need for quantitative review efforts in the domain of translanguaging in education by employing visualization as an innovative means of presenting bibliometric data. This paper analyzes 680 relevant journal articles published between 2010 and 2022, identifies three phases in the development of translanguaging research, and highlights topics such as bilingual education, higher education, and language-in-education policy. The primary findings, presented through statistical analyses and succinct commentaries, are organized into four sections to address the research questions including 1) general situation, 2) leading geographical locations, 3) co-citation analysis, and 4) keywords co-occurrence analysis. The findings reveal the importance of exploiting students’ linguistic repertoires and home languages in education to enhance learning and promote a sense of belonging. This review offers valuable resources for subsequent research in the domain of translanguaging in education that is founded on a better understanding of multilingualism and its significance in contemporary educational landscapes.

“…As Peirce (1995) states, "the individual language learner is not ahistorical and unidimensional but has a complex and sometimes contradictory social identity, changing across time and space" (p. 26). In a study conducted on Arabic-Hebrew bilinguals in Israel, it was concluded that ethnolinguistic identities were shaped and reflected through their purposeful intermingling of Hebrew and Arabic in certain contexts (Dubiner, 2021). Thus, because of the strong link between language, social, and individual identity, when students are provided a TL space to fully utilize their linguistic repertoire, they are able to develop a positive bilingual identity about themselves.…”

Bilingual Proficiency Development and Translanguaging Practices of Emergent Korean-English Bilingual Children in Korea

With the rise of globalization, transmigration becomes more commonplace. Globalization is often accompanied by multiculturalism that constitutes an important fabric in societies and countries around the world. This has been the case in South Korea. Multiculturalism has resulted in many shifts and challenges within the Korean family dynamics. Multilingualism is an important characteristic that uniquely identifies many multicultural families. Regardless of the unique traits of each multicultural family, what seems to be the common denominator within these families of emergent bilingual children is that translanguaging is practiced for various purposes both inside and outside the home environment. Through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and narrative frames, this qualitative case study explores Anglophone fathers’ perceptions of their bilingual children’s language proficiency, the translanguaging practices of Korean-English bilingual families in Korea, and the impact of translanguaging practices on bilingual children’s self-identity development. Three conclusions can be drawn based on the results: Parents of emergent bilingual children generally value high proficiency in both languages, translanguaging is often practiced for communicative purposes, and translanguaging has an important effect on emergent bilinguals’ self-identity development. Implications are drawn regarding the importance and necessity of translanguaging practices both inside and outside of the home environment.

“…The dominant dichotomous Israeli/Palestinian and Jewish/Arab discourse appears to have become increasingly inclusive and less polarized between “Palestinization” and “Israelization” ( Amara and Schnell, 2004 ; Smooha, 2013 ). Arab-Israelis also allow themselves greater fluidity when defining their identities ( Ross and Razon, 2015 ); bilingualism and combined use of Hebrew and Arabic may demonstrate this ( Dubiner, 2018 ).…”

The study examines the place identity of minority group Arab-Israeli students studying at a campus affiliated with the Israeli hegemonic majority, against the backdrop of the enduring Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The study analyzes place identity construction strategies utilized by these students, and the formation patterns of the new place identity reflected in everyday campus life. Subjective experiences of students were revealed through the ethnographic and qualitative phenomenological methodology and in-depth interviews. From the findings, it became apparent that life under conditions of ongoing ethnic–political conflict forces minority groups to develop strategies regarding their place identity. These strategies are fluidly employed depending on the specific context of time and place. Four place identity strategies were identified: overt, borrowed, avoidant, and ideological. Key factors contributing to the construction of each strategy were discovered: rooted place identity; gender expectations, and proactive or passive attitude to place. Implementation tactics such as individual versus collective approaches, distancing from other groups, and the flow between multiple identities were also uncovered. The study asserts that the strategies, tactics, and key factors revealed in the research contribute to place identity theory and will enrich other place identity studies of minority groups and communities in fluid contexts. Expanding theoretical discourse with respect to the strategies and tactics of place identity could promote the opportunity for integration and coexistence.
