Translanguaging Pedagogy (Translation + Foreign Language education combined) : The way ahead in MENA English Instruction

Enough is enough!
In the MENA region, a significant portion of the student population continues to face challenges in acquiring proficiency in foreign languages, particularly in writing, speaking, and listening skills. This difficulty extends to tasks such as translation and post-editing, especially in the context of the recent surge in large language models.  



Listening to the video that discusses the essential role of translanguaging in both monolingual and multilingual education will illustrate its relevance, inclusivity, and capacity to empower and motivate learners. It is time to move beyond post-colonial recommendations regarding effective foreign language learning strategies, irrespective of the accent employed. This applies not only to countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and North Africa but potentially to other regions of the world that have experienced colonization by powers such as the French and English.
