Description
Alasmari and Alaqlobi weigh the pros and cons of translanguaging, the use of more than one language in class, for health care training. Future doctors and nurses must talk well with patients who speak other tongues. Their 2025 study uses a SWOT frame and draws on a survey of ninety medical students plus talks with ten more.
Students said the practice helped them grasp lessons, learn other cultures, and speak with patients more well. It could also make classes more fair and open care to more people. Weak points were scarce tools, uneven use, and pushback from some teachers. Risks were pushback from schools and too much lean on home tongues. The authors give tips for schools that adopt it.
