volume underlines the ever-pressing need for new language in
education policies to include all learners' voices in the
multilingual classroom and to empower teachers to develop
responsive and transformative pedagogies. Using testimonies,
narratives and examples from different international contexts, this

sociolinguistic issues around the promotion of bilingualism and
multilingualism in education.

settings, this textbook systematically covers the diverse
dimensions of multilingualism. As well as explaining key concepts,
it examines the foremost issues of individual and societal
multilingualism. It discusses topics from indigenous and minority
languages to World Englishes and translanguaging, and from
cross-linguistic influence to multilingual identity and the impact
of multilingualism on healthy aging and considers the models and
research methods used to underpin these discussions. Each chapter
is supported by a comprehensive review of relevant research to
reveal fresh perspectives, offer discerning insights and pose
challenging possibilities for future exploration. .
This volume approaches contemporary multilingualism as a new
linguistic dispensation, in urgent need of research-led, reflective
scrutiny. The book addresses the emergent global and local patterns
of multingual use and acquisition across the world and explores the
major trends that characterize today's multilingualism. It is
divided into three parts on the basis of the broad themes:
education (including multilingual learning in its general,
theoretical aspects), sociolinguistic dimensions and language
policy. The book's fifteen chapters, written by renowned
international experts, discuss a range of issues relating to the
quintessential and unique properties of multilingual situations -
issues relevant to the challenges faced in different ways by
researcher and practitioners alike. All the contributions share a
focus on currently operative patterns of interaction between
contexts, events and processes.
