How does translanguaging improve Ukrainian language acquisition

Translanguaging improves Ukrainian language acquisition by allowing learners to dynamically use their full linguistic repertoire, including their native languages alongside Ukrainian. This practice supports cognitive flexibility, metalinguistic awareness, and creates an inclusive learning environment that affirms learners’ identities. In the context of Ukrainian language acquisition, translanguaging facilitates comprehension, vocabulary retention, and self-expression by enabling learners to leverage their existing language skills to scaffold new knowledge in Ukrainian. Moreover, it helps overcome language barriers and psychological challenges by fostering a supportive atmosphere where using multiple languages reduces anxiety and promotes communication confidence. This approach creates better engagement, enhances social and emotional learning, and can lead to improved overall proficiency in Ukrainian. ^{1, 2, 3}
