Ting Zhou's doctoral project aims to extend the currently limited knowledge on how young children's families and educators can foster linguistic diversity alongside multimodal literacy. The ability to create and interpret meanings constructed through language and images is critical for communication skills. The project employs the concepts of 'translanguaging' and 'multimodality', examining how 15 Chinese-English bilingual parents read and discuss wordless picture books with their 4-to-5-year-old children. It explores potential interactions that support children's multilingualism and multimodal literacy, with research findings holding implications for parents, educators, children's book authors, and publishers.
