Translanguaging in CLIL
A scoping review
Translanguaging was a relatively little-known concept 20 years ago, but has now become a ‘household name’ in
academic contexts. The body of research on translanguaging is ever-growing and the concept covers a vast field from bilinguals’
everyday language use to a theory of language and education. By means of a scoping literature review this study focuses on
translanguaging as a pedagogy within bilingual education and synthesises existing empirical research on the topic that was carried
out between 1990 and 2020.
