The notion of the native speaker and its undertones of ultimate
language competence, language ownership and social status has been
problematized by various researchers, arguing that the ensuing
monolingual norms and assumptions are flawed or inequitable in a
global super-diverse world. However, such norms are still
ubiquitous in educational, institutional and social settings, in
political structures and in research paradigms. This collection
offers voices from various contexts and corners of the world and
further challenges the native speaker construct adopting
poststructuralist and postcolonial perspectives. It includes
conceptual, methodological, educational and practice-oriented
contributions. Topics span language minorities, intercomprehension,
plurilingualism and pluriculturalism, translanguaging, teacher
education, new speakers, language background profiling, heritage
languages, and learner identity, among others. Collectively, the
authors paint the portrait of the "changing face of the native
speaker" while also strengthening a new global agenda in
multilingualism and social justice. These diverse and
interconnected contributions are meant to inspire researchers,
university students, educators, policy makers and beyond.
