Communication in the contact zone: The TLANG project and ESOL

This paper introduces the AHRC-funded research project, Translation and Translanguaging: Investigating Linguistic and Cultural Transformations in Superdiverse Wards in Four UK Cities. The overall aim of the four-year project, TLANG for short, is to investigate how people communicate when they bring different histories, biographies, and trajectories to interaction in contexts of superdiversity.
