2.How does the teacher use translanguaging to teach vocabulary and grammar?

To answer the first question, we compared questioning patterns of teacher and students between monolingual classes vs. classes with translanguaging. The monolingual classes were from the baseline project on the LSP (Chap. 2, Table 2.​2a). The schools in this part of the data set are Qin Hua, Jin Hua, Nan Xin, Hazelnut, and Everbest Primary schools. These monolingual classes were then compared with classes from Schools F and C where translanguaging was used in LSP classes (Chap. 2, Table 2.​2b). No doubt both sets of classes are from different schools with different students and teachers. Thus there are no controls in terms of investigating the same students and teachers. However, though the schools and classes are different, they are all part of the LSP program. Students are selected for the LSP after a nationwide diagnostic test conducted by Singapore’s Ministry of Education. Thus all the students in the LSP are similar in terms of their low proficiency, especially low proficiency in reading in English. Also all the teachers in the LSP are provided training by the Ministry on how to teach reading skills to low-proficiency students. These are controls that are already built into the system.
