From Multilingual Heritage to Digital Empowerment: Translanguaging Strategies for Kolam Tribal Women’s Education

Author(s) Dr. NAGESWARA RAO KONDA
Country India
Abstract The article is concerned with translanguaging pedagogical programs to enhance the learning outcomes of the Kolam tribal women in Maharashtra and Telangana, India. It examines the possibility of using the multilingual heritage as a digital empowerment tool instead of a hindrance to formal education. The paper reports how the policy of translanguaging was found to be effective in mediating between the local knowledge system and the contemporary requirements of digital literacy through a mixed-method research design involving 240 Kolam women, 18-45 years old, in 12 villages. These results demonstrate that the strategies of translanguaging elevated educational interest (73 per cent) and digital literacy (68 per cent) indicators compared to languages taught using monolingual methods. The reason is that the next factor is the presence of the community (r=0.82) followed by the cultural validation (r=0.79) and integration of technology (r=0.74) are the next factors predicting the success of the education. The research contributes to decolonising pedagogies, demonstrating how indigenous multi-lingual practices may be applied as a scaffold to existing educational goals. The implications are not exclusive to the Kolam community, but may guide educational policy makers to work with indigenous people in other countries. The paper concludes that suitably culturally mediated and technology-rich translanguaging experiences can restructure the learning journeys of marginalised groups, in addition to preserving language heritage.
