In Poetry Inside Out, students collaborate to translate world-class poems from their original language (e.g., Spanish, Chinese) into English. Informing PIO’s design is the view of translation as an interpretive and creative act and a form of close reading. Drawing on their own and eachother’s linguistic and cultural repertoires and using a carefully scaffolded translation tool, students come to a deeper understanding of how languages and literacies work, paying keen attention to vocabulary, poetic form, syntax, grammar, rhythm, sound, and other nuances of the source and target language. Highlighted are two 5th-grade teachers’, Erica Darken and Lisa Yuk Kuen Yau, and their multilingual students’ engagement with Poetry Inside Out. Also highlighted are the teacher’s use of allied practices such as Accordion Books and dialogic talk.  \nImagine you are an emergent bilingual child learning English in a typical classroom. Imagine struggling to understand and be understood by your classmates and teachers. You feel broken whenever you attempt to use your budding English but are interrupted and corrected. You feel overwhelmed and confused by school assignments. You, like most emergent bilinguals learning English, are told to “follow the rules” and rarely encouraged to ask “why” and “what if”as you study this new tongue, so instead you sit quietly.  \nNow, picture being an emergent bilingual in a different classroom, one that is filled with enthusiastic multilingual learners who clamor to be educated differently, asking their 5th-grade teachers, Erica Darken and Lisa Yuk Kuen Yau, to teach them English and literacy through translation: “When will we do translation again? Can I choose the next poem to translate [into English]? Why did we translate only four poems the whole year?” You join in the conversation, and ask to translate a poem from your own home language.  \nThis collaboratively authored piece highlights Poetry Inside Out, a poetry translation program that fosters the development of emergent bilingual youths’ multiple literacies – the many ways of meaning-making and communication that are socially and culturally meaningful.. After explaining the design of Poetry Inside Out and our understanding of literacy and literacies, we highlight Erica and Lisa’s classrooms, offering examples of how Erica and Lisa each leverage PIO in their classrooms.  \nDescription of Poetry Inside Out  \nDeveloped at the Center for the Art of Translation, Poetry Inside Out (PIO) is a language and literacy-rich program centered on poetry translation and its allied practices, including discussion and collaboration with peers. In PIO, students translate poems from around the world in their original language (e.g., Spanish, Vietnamese, Russian, etc.) into English. Informing  \nPIO’s design is the view of translation as an interpretive act and a form of close reading. By practicing the art of translation, students come to a deeper understanding of how languages and literacies work, paying keen attention to not only meaning in context but also vocabulary, poetic form, syntax, grammar, rhythm, sound, and other nuances of the source and target language.  \nDrawing on their own and each other’s linguistic and cultural repertoires, students in PIO build an original version of the text by moving back and forth between multiple languages, considering the whole poem against i","cbCaimvqRTMu1Lej","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimvqRTMu1Lej","pdf",713227,27,"English","# Abstract\n# Description of Poetry Inside Out\n## Translation as interpretive close reading\n## Collaborative production, talk, and listening\n## Culture-building and inclusion\n## Gradual, cumulative learning and close reading","[{\"question\":\"What is Poetry Inside Out (PIO)?\",\"answer\":\"Poetry Inside Out is a language and literacy-rich program focused on poetry translation and allied practices such as discussion and peer collaboration.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students use translation in PIO?\",\"answer\":\"Students translate poems from their original languages into English, treating translation as an interpretive and close reading act that requires attention to meaning, vocabulary, and language nuances.\"},{\"question\":\"How is collaboration structured in PIO classrooms?\",\"answer\":\"Translations are produced collaboratively, first in pairs and then in groups of four, making talking and listening essential for developing ideas and meaningful communication.\"}]","Poetry Inside Out - Translation for Emergent Bilingual Literacies | PDF",1792037858,42]
