- Abstract
- When it is cold outside, we can always find warmth inside our homes. For Indonesian transnational families, like mine, our home is our sanctuary. At home we can maintain our connections with Indonesia where we can relax and become ourselves although people outside may not understand us. My research is about Indonesian transnational families who live in the U.S. and their home literacy and translanguaging practices. Translanguaging that refers to creative and critical process in which multilingual people use their language and other resources in dynamic, flexible, multimodal, semiotic and purposeful ways (Espinosa & Moreno, 2021) become the lens in my study. I also look at cultural and religious activities that happen around texts at home and how they influence the construction of the families’ multiple identities. The families’ different practices were often not recognized as beneficial for the children’s multilingual and multiliteracy competences and academic success. As a result, the children may feel restricted in cultivating their cultural and religious identities. What everyone needs to know is that maintaining multiliteracies at home would help these children challenge the dominant literacy practices and resist the imposed language ideology that they encounter at formal institutions like school.
