This book highlights the need to develop new educational
perspectives in which multilingualism is valorised and
strategically used in settings and contexts of instruction and
learning. Situated in the current educational debate about
multilingualism and ethno-linguistic minorities, chapter authors
examine the polarised response to heightened linguistic diversity
and how the debate is very much premised on binary views of
monolingualism and multi- or bilingualism. Contributors argue that
the diverse linguistic backgrounds of immigrant and minority
students should be considered an asset, instead of being regarded
as a barrier to teaching and learning. From its title through to
its conclusion, this book underlines the current perspective of
multilingualism as possessing cutting edge potential for
transforming diverse classrooms into more inhabitable, more
equitable and more efficiently organised spaces for learning. This
book will be of interest to scholars and researchers in educational
linguistics, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, anthropological
linguistics, pedagogics, educational studies, and educational
anthropology.
