This study reports on the experiences of immigrant parents as they engaged in their children's learning during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Research has shown that the pandemic caused challenges for parents who could not balance family and work. Schoolwork and homework were done with the assistance of the parents. However, there is a paucity of research that seeks to explore parents' and children's practices during homework sessions, and the research engages translanguaging during the homework sessions. Two immigrant children, Taurai (16) and Yeukai (10), and their mother are the participants. A total of 24 homework sessions were recorded in six weeks with each child in the two subjects English Language and Natural Science and five-minute reflective conversations that were recorded after every lesson. The findings reveal that translanguaging was best for the meaning-making process, and the children were able to mirror themselves in the learning content. |
