Abstract
The use of technology in the classroom is constantly increasing. In the world of adult education, these skills are even more important for students to be successful both inside and outside the classroom. As a way to improve those skills while also accounting for the needs of English language learning students, this capstone project explores the following question: How can teachers support best translanguaging instructional practices in an adult basic technology curriculum? The literature review explores the practices of adult education, translanguaging, and digital literacy pedagogies that contribute to the formation and foundation of the curriculum support materials created. The materials design focuses on the use of technology tools that help with translations, collaboration, and polling during the five-week-long email unit. These materials not only help students and teachers build in-class authentic experiences but can also be adapted and put into practice in various other settings. The design and use of the materials promote the values of equity and inclusion that are the centerpiece of the research and a way to continue to push the fields of technology and adult education forward.
