This talk explores translanguaging and trans-knowledging as tools for decolonising education. Together, they challenge Eurocentric frameworks and recognise the importance of local languages and knowledge, particularly in multilingual contexts of the Global South. Drawing on existing literature on EMI policies and practices, this talk discusses translanguaging as both a pedagogical and ideological framework and explores its potential in a) disrupting the monolingual (English-only) ideology; b) facilitating trans-knowledging processes and intercultural competence; and c) reshaping communication and knowledge sharing in the times of AI.
