Trans-language as a Medium for Creating Home-School Interaction in Early Childhood Education Centres in Turkana County

This paper explored how teachers use translanguaging to create home-school interaction in Early Childhood Education Centres (ECDE) in Turkana County. The study was guided by translanguaging theory. The study adopted a case study approach. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group interviews and unstructured interviews. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings of the study show that teachers use translanguaging in creating home-school interaction in ECDE in Turkana County. The findings of this study may inform the need to recognise translanguaging as a legitimate medium in creating home-school interaction in ECDE in Turkana, hence filling the gap caused by high parental illiteracy levels.
