As pressure builds on the educational systems of the world to serve
the needs of increasingly diverse multilingual populations and at a
time when multilingualism and multiliteracy are clearly socially
and economically advantageous, the need to understand relationships
between language and education is particularly acute. Since its
formulation in the 1970s, educational linguistics has been
developing specifically to address this need. More than the
application of concepts from the discipline of linguistics to the
field of education, educational linguistics has taken shape as the
transdisciplinary investigation of language issues in and around
educational settings. Accordingly, it has emerged as an area of
inquiry that is unified by its focus on education but diverse in
both methodology and theoretical underpinnings. Directions and
Prospects for Educational Linguistics explores the innovations that
have developed from creative syntheses of methodological and
theoretical approaches. The volume provides unique insights into
current practices and new frontiers for educational linguistics by
bringing together contributions from scholars who draw upon on
established research traditions while at the same time pushing
their boundaries beyond the confines of specific disciplines. Each
essay serves as a thought provoking starting point for scholars and
advanced graduate students to contemplate directions and prospects
for research that contributes to linguistically appropriate and
socially responsible education.
