• Resumen

  • This ethnographic case study investigates how a young rural Chinese EAL learner engages in a translanguaging process as she reads a digital and multilingual Cinderella picturebook in her home. It documents wide-ranging translanguaging relations dynamically formed among this learner, the researcher as a reading partner, and a myriad of nonhuman materials (modes, languages, tablet, software, time, space, etc.). Accordingly, the current research adopts a sociomaterial approach to examine language and literacy learning environments in terms of social and material dynamics. A sociomaterial perspective on translanguaging expands the researcher’s gaze from looking only at individual actions or social interactions in translanguaging practices to consider how nonhumans also constitute and affect these practices as active agents.
