Translanguaging, Heterodiscourse and Multilingualism in the Teaching-Learning of Languages: An Reflection

Abstract

One of the central points for the concept of heteroglossia is negotiation, the social negotiation that is central to the heterodiscourse, since all the time one is negotiating to place of saying and, still, negotiating to position, in the interaction, in the own language. One issue that has become increasingly strong in translanguaging studies is the understanding that if one is negotiating tension, one is actually negotiating power relations. According to this context, this work aims at a theoretical-methodological reflection of some concepts that can, also to dialogism and interactionism, to contribute significantly to the practice and to the teaching-learning of languages.
