      <image:title>Our Approach - Translanguaging Theory</image:title>
      <image:caption>Translanguaging is a theory from bilingual education that describes what people do when they use all of their language and communication resources -- including oral language, gestures, drawings, and other signs and symbols -- to make meaning, learn, and express themselves (García &amp; Li Wei, 2014). We are guided by translanguaging pedagogy, which places value on the emerging language and social practices that bi/multilingual learners bring and construct in classrooms (Espinosa &amp; Ascenzi-Moreno, forthcoming). Taking up a translanguaging lens elevates the language practices of traditionally marginalized students, promoting equity in CS education.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Approach - Literate Programming</image:title>
      <image:caption>Embracing a broad range of literacy practices is not only an idea from bilingual education; this idea also has a long history in CS itself. Prominent computer scientist Donald Knuth coined the phrase literate programming (Knuth, 1984) to emphasize that computer code (programs) are meant to be read and written by people, and not just computers. Knuth advocated that computer scientists should appreciate virtuosic works of programming just like virtuosic works of literature, and that by treating programs as not only functional but expressive creations would allow real progress in CS.  Incorporating not just writing of programs, but also reading and engaging with programs, helps create space for novices to participate in CS. It also helps reduce perceptions of programming as the domain of an elite few, what has been metaphorically called a programming “priesthood” (Backus, 1980; Doctorow, 2009; Maz, 2017; Nelson, 1973; Sabelli, 1998). Engaging critically and reflectively with software in these ways can help improve equity in CS.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Approach - Syncretic Computational Literacies</image:title>
      <image:caption>As we connect our theories of translanguaging pedagogy with the literate programming approach, we always pose the question, “What conversation is code a part of?”  To build on bi/multilingual students’ language practices, identities, and motivations, we aim to foster meaningful conversations in classrooms, drawing on three areas:</image:caption>
