ABSTRACT
Translanguaging, known for its pedagogical use in bilingual classrooms, has been during the last few years, the center of researches associated to Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, and, more lately, Neurolinguistics. The term has been used to refer to a bilingual strategy or mechanism. After summarizing some of the most important definitions of the concept of translanguaging, we focus on its characteristics and associate them with the current conditions that affect school populations and more specifically Greek and French language classrooms. Finally, we define Translanguaging taking into consideration all these factors that contribute to its conceptualization at a modern school context.
