Bilingualism and Language Pedagogy brings an understanding of
language as a social practice, and bilingualism as the study of
bidirectional transitioning, to the examination of bilingual
settings in the US, Europe and developing countries. The volume
suggests that language pedagogy needs to reflect new understandings
of bilinguals. Focusing both on bilingual linguistic competence and
educational politics and practice, the chapters provide valuable
practical proposals and models for developing sociocultural and
linguistic competencies among bilingual practitioners and students.
The volume situates teachers as mediators and explores the key
roles that they have as language and content educators. In
discussing the experiences of learners, it takes up the linguistic
competence of bilinguals, highlighting how their language use
constitutes a resource for meeting the demands of social
interactions, and foregrounds the significance of developing
academic language proficiency in English among minority children to
decrease the barriers facing them in residential and academic
settings.
