This collection examines a diverse range of approaches to
multilingualism in teacher education programmes across Europe and
North America. The authors investigate how pre-service teachers are
being prepared to work in multilingual contexts and discuss the key
features of current pre-service teacher education initiatives that
address the increasing linguistic and cultural diversity evident in
classrooms in their respective countries. The focus is not only on
migrant-background learners but includes students from Indigenous,
autochthonous and heritage language backgrounds, and speakers of
minoritised regional varieties. The chapters contextualise, both
historically and ideologically, the specific initiatives and
measures taken in the participating countries. They also reveal the
complexity of each educational context and the role that history,
language policies and institutional and programmatic priorities
play in the development and implementation of a multilingual focus
in teacher education. In exploring how pre-service teachers are
being prepared to work in multilingual contexts, the authors take a
critical view of how multilingualism itself is conceptualised
within and across contexts. The book highlights the valuable impact
that explicit instruction on theories of multilingualism,
pedagogies in multilingual classrooms and lived realities of
multilingual children can have on the beliefs and practices of
pre-service teachers.
