Multilingualism and internationalization of higher education is a contemporary reality world-wide. Specifically, multilingualism in higher education is a multi-faceted issue that requires special attention and is important in language learning policy. Special professional and education training should be provided both to teachers and students in to raise their awareness about the benefits of multilingualism and multiculturalism, intercultural communication, equity and equality, inclusive teaching and learning, international collaboration, and more. Multilingual education can promote linguistic and cultural diversity, cognitive, effective, and social development, and can help to overcome monolingual bias and enrich learning and teaching experience in the higher education settings. This book provides insights in the field of multilingualism and multilingual education based on conceptual and empirical studies that will provide evidence in support of sustainable multilingualism in higher education. Topics covered will include language learning and teaching, language education policy, ethical issues of language teaching, equity, and equality, (digital) critical literacy, critical dialogue in academic settings, language attitudes and perceptions, code-switching and code-mixing, translanguaging, internationalization and customization of higher education, minority and immigrant students and instructors, and more. This book links theory with practice, to include the views of students, teachers, educators, language policy experts, scholars, and researchers and to contribute to the field of Applied Linguistics and Education.

What do meaningful connections in learning and teaching look like, and how might we foster these? How might the concept of mattering be helpful for our understanding of higher education? In this book, Karen Gravett examines the role of relationships, and in particular of relational pedagogies, where meaningful relationships are positioned as fundamental to effective learning. She explores concepts of authenticity, vulnerability, and trust within learning and teaching, as well as the potential of working with students in partnership. This book examines the role of relationships between colleagues: how educators can learn from others both within and beyond higher education, as well as considering how teachers can support one another when working within challenging contemporary contexts. Drawing upon a rich theoretical perspective that interweaves posthuman and sociomaterial theory, the book also introduces a broader conception of the relational, where relational pedagogies are understood as encompassing objects, spaces and materialities, as part of an interwoven web of relations. In exploring mattering, Gravett explores both who matters - who should be considered and valued - and the material mattering of learning. In this innovative conception of relational pedagogies, Gravett offers a broad and rich reworking of our understanding of relationality, offering fresh ways in which we might understand and conduct higher education theory and practice.
