This book explores multilingual practices such as translanguaging,
code-switching and stylization in secondary classrooms in Hawai'i.
Using linguistic ethnography, it investigates how students in a
linguistically diverse class, including those who speak less
commonly taught languages, deal with learning tasks and the social
life of the class when using these languages alongside English as a
lingua franca. It discusses implications for teachers, from
balancing student needs in lesson planning and instruction to
classroom management, where the language use of one individual or
group can create challenges of understanding, participation or
deficit identity positionings for another. The book argues that
students must not only be allowed to flex their whole language
repertoires to learn and communicate but also be aware of how to
build bridges across differences in individual repertoires. It
offers suggestions for teachers to consider within their own
contexts, highlighting the need for teacher autonomy to cultivate
the classroom community's critical language awareness and create
conducive environments for learning. This book will appeal to
postgraduate students, researchers and academics working in the
fields of sociolinguistics and linguistic ethnography as well as
pre-service and in-service teachers in linguistically diverse
secondary school contexts.
