In this article we will study sound—specifically, how sound allows us to communicate in a classroom and can improve that communication. You learn is measured people called acoustics engineers help architects designers make sure classrooms are not too noisy—or quiet. We even have some experiments you do measure sounds at home, school, or football stadium.

Translanguaging research has documented language practices within the multilingual, multimodal turn and post-multilingualism era. Space still remains for inquiry into translanguaging that respect align with students’ multilingual affordances across languages.
