Procesos de agentividad y nuevos repertorios translingüísticos de los estudiantes de origen magrebí en Galicia
Abstract
«Agency processes and the new translinguistic repertoire of students of Moroccan and Algerian origin in Galicia». This article analyzes how agency processes are crucial in the management of the new translinguistic repertoire of high school student of Moroccan and Algerian origin in Galicia. The data include a multimodal corpus with spoken and written interactions collected as part of a classroom research-action, whereby each student reconstructed their family and school language repertoire, as well as a WhatsApp group chat set up with the same young people. Our analysis indicate how this repertoire is deeply rooted in Moroccan Arabic as the family language and the incorporation of local languages, namely Spanish and Galician, and relies heavily on translingual multimodal practices, associated with transnational trajectories and the local schooling process of these young people.
