Resumo

This article presents a pedagogical proposal grounded in the Translanguaging Learning Movement Framework (TLMF), developed through collaborative teacher education sessions from the Translinguar Project in southern Brazil. Comprising seven flexible pedagogical movements, the TLMF was co-constructed through educators’ reflections and draws on translanguaging theory. The article outlines a teaching unit on climate justice, a pressing theme marked by environmental disasters disproportionately affecting migrant communities. The proposal offers strategies for implementing translanguaging pedagogy in multilingual classrooms, fostering linguistic, social, and climate justice. It contributes to critical language education by connecting diverse linguistic repertoires with context-responsive and socially engaged teaching practices.
