Abstract
Chapter 5 turns to how translanguaging is used by students to learn. We develop here the concept of pupil-directed translanguaging. After a discussion of its meaning, the chapter presents cases of how translanguaging is used by kindergarteners who are at the beginning stages of the bilingual continuum, and by bilingual students in order to write.
