Lead Section


 * Includes an introduction to what translanguaging is, if it is a bit all over the place. There are a lot of parts to the first paragraph that might not necessarily need to be there such as talking about diglossia.
 * It DOES NOT include an overview of the sections
 * I saw the word diglossia and two monolinguals, but not a lot of that information in the background section or other places
 * I thought the lead was perhaps overly detailed

Content


 * Yes, the content of the article is relevant
 * Not all of the content is up to date in the article
 * There should be more information on how bilinguals use language outside of a school setting as well as more on the history of language separation in schools
 * One of the major issues of this article is that it really focuses on English and the United States as opposed to translanguaging around the world

Tone and Balance


 * It seems like the article is neutral
 * The claims do not seem heavily biased
 * The viewpoints of the English speaking world and the United States are overrepresented
 * I don't know if there are other fringe views that are not represented
 * I don't think the article is attempting to persuade the reader

Sources and References


 * The research is not overly current
 * The links seem to work and the appear to mostly be researched

Organization and Quality


 * This article needs some organization work. There is not a lot of flow to it and there is some information in the beginning that should be later
 * Some other readers have mentioned it sounds overly opinionated

Images or Media


 * There are no images or media

Talk Page


 * It looks like there is a lot on the talk page about more background being needed and opinions stated as facts

Overall


 * This article is getting started. It has a lot of good parts, but it does not flow particularly well.  Many of the sections seem disjointed or disconnected.
 * The article is underdeveloped
