Within the scope of today's globalisation, linguistic diversity is
a given fact of the world we live in. In several educational
contexts in Europe, language awareness (LA) activities have been
introduced with the objective to prepare pupils cognitively,
socially and/or critically for life as multilingual, open minded
and/or empowered citizens in a diverse world. Despite previous
research in various contexts, the concept of LA remains
problematic: a generally accepted, evidence-based conceptualisation
is missing. This confronts both research and education with a
challenge: in order to develop LA activities, implement them
successfully in educational contexts and achieve the expected
outcomes, we should know what the concept stands for, how it works
and why we would choose to implement it in classrooms (or not).
This volume focuses on three apparent simple questions: what, how
and why? The first question - what? - refers to the concept(ual
mess) of LA. The second question - how? - refers to the
implementation of LA activities in several educational contexts.
The third question - why? - is a recurrent theme running through
all the chapters and deals with a reflection on the way we deal
(un)consciously with LA activities in education.
