This book responds to a growing body of work in sociolinguistics
and applied linguistics that places an emphasis on situated
descriptions of language education practices and illuminates how
these descriptions are enmeshed with local, institutional and wider
social forces. It engages with new ways of understanding language
that expand its meaning by including other semiotic resources and
meaning-making practices and bring to the fore its messiness and
unpredictability. The chapters illustrate how a translingual and
transcultural orientation to language and language pedagogy can
provide a point of entry to reimagining what language education
might look like under conditions of heightened linguistic and
cultural diversity and increased linguistic and social
inequalities. The book unites an international group of
contributors, presenting state-of-the-art empirical studies drawing
on a wide range of local contexts and spaces, from linguistically
and culturally heterogeneous mainstream and HE classrooms to
complementary (community) school and informal language learning
contexts.
