Traditionally, teaching and learning languages have been carried out from a monolingual
perspective. The past methods of the 20th century focused on the language itself instead of the
learners and their needs. That is why the main objectives of this work are to conduct a
theoretical overview of three pedagogical approaches, namely those of Communicative
Language Teaching, Content and Language Integrated Learning, and Task-based Language
Teaching, and recognise the need for new pedagogical methodologies according to the
realities of the 21st century. For that, the three most eminent communicative methods up to
the present have been reviewed
However, nowadays globalization is a fact, so multilingual and multicultural populations are
present in many countries. Therefore, more interest and attention to multilingual education
and training programs arose. For this reason, multilingualism and translanguaging are
proposed as new trends when learning languages. Translanguaging involves students’ learning
of two languages through a process of deep cognitive bilingual engagement. When
translanguaging, there are no clear-cut boundaries between the languages of bilinguals, but a
languaging continuum that is accessed. Thus, trilinguals can act naturally, using one language
to reinforce the other to raise understanding and also their activity in both languages.
Certainly, a focus on multilingualism should be adopted when teaching from the
translanguaging perspective. The study concludes that there is a lack of consideration of the
background knowledge of learners because of not recognizing their multilingual nature in a
more developed society. Consequently, teachers need more training in order to teach properly
according to learners' necessities. However, there is room for more investigation and
formation. [-]
