Regarding #translanguaging vs. code-switching between languages, Rafi Saleh in Bangladesh, who did his PhD in Australia on translanguaging, informed me: "According to code-switching theorists, a bilingual has two linguistic systems, whereas a monolingual has one. For translanguaging theorists, both bilingual and monolingual people have one linguistic system, but bilingual people's systems are more complex, and they learn to divide the system into two for external forces rather than linguistic reasons."
This accords with my view of always-on bilingual mode. The pictures show my proposed paradigm shift from a conventional #ForeignLanguageTeaching model to a #developmental #bilingual perspective.

I've set up @Bilingualism for teachers or researchers of plural #languages at levels of the #individual (#bilingual development), #family (bilingual child-raising & #biculturalism), society (a country's language #communities & policies), or #schools (bilingual or #international #education, Second or #ForeignLanguageTeaching teaching).

If you follow it like you follow a person, you can get posts with @Bilingualism in them, or share messages with the group.

1/2: Global Faculty Development might sound like a slogan or exaggeration of international outreach, but I learned from having such a position at Kansai University in Osaka from 2016-2020 that Global FD can have a specific and practical definition in a suitable context. Basically, Global FD means meeting the needs of non-native English-using faculty members in non-Western countries. Specific guidance could involve preparing teachers for English-medium (or other international language) instruction (particularly to classes with international students), giving presentations at international conferences, publishing journal papers, and other scholarly
tasks. Research findings: "Meeting Global Faculty Development Needs in Japan" at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330778631 or https://www.academia.edu/38264974
