Guided by the view of language as a resource for effectively teaching multilingual/bilingual students, I research ways to improve participation and engagement of these learners in the formal and informal processes of schooling. As the lead author of influential papers, I have argued that teachers need specialized knowledge base in order to attend to the translanguaging practices of the multilingual learners. Current research project examines the development of formative simulated classroom environments for educating science teachers to teach immigrant children.
