This book explores language practices, beliefs and management
across a group of Polish immigrant families in Australia, drawing
on these case studies as a lens through which to unpack dynamics of
Family Language Policy (FLP) and their implications for future
research on FLP. The volume begins by outlining the historical
context of Polish immigration in Australia, charting two key waves
of Polish migration in the 20th century and the subsequent
unfolding of issues around language and culture maintenance in
these families. This discussion paves the way for exploring key
themes of language socialization, language ideologies and heritage
language maintenance and the affordances of FLP research in
elucidating these dynamics at work in the lived experiences of a
group of Polish immigrant families in Melbourne. The book
highlights the importance of a triangulated approach, integrating
qualitative and quantitative methods, in offering nuanced insights
into parental approaches and children's experiences of a bilingual
upbringing and the wider impact of FLP on transnational families.
Opening up avenues for future research on Family Language Policy
and a better understanding of the language practices of specific
communities in a globalised world, this book will be of interest to
scholars in multilingualism, sociolinguistics and applied
linguistics.

Multilingualism has become an increasingly common global phenomenon
especially in the last two decades. Therefore, multilingual
programmes have now been regarded as a cornerstone of education
systems in many countries around the world. Learning multiple
languages helps us plug into a globalised world and strengthen
links with a multitude of speakers from a diversified reality we
live in. Thanks to the researched cases described in the chapters,
further developments aimed at fostering multilingual practices in
the contemporary world will be enhanced. The chapters included in
the present volume, provide an overview of current theory, research
and practice in the field. They deal with such prominent research
topics as multilingual education, language policies, language
contact, identity of multilingual speakers, to name only a few. The
selected chapters focus on the numerous and heterogeneous relations
between languages. They also incorporate a series of contextualized
studies with diverse research designs applied in different settings
across the globe. This volume constitutes a pivotal reference
source for the latest scholarly material on multilingualism from
twelve different countries. It is a thought-provoking collection
that provides a series of rich insights into the way
multilingualism is practised in international contexts. It is
ideally designed for academics, upper-level students, educators,
professionals and practitioners seeking linguistic and pedagogical
guidance on multilingualism.

This book covers research topics in bilingual education, language
policies, language contact, identity of bilingual speakers, early
bilingualism, heritage languages, and more, and provides an
overview of current theory, research and practice in the field of
bilingualism. Each chapter is written by a specialist in the field.
Part I focuses on the numerous and heterogeneous relations between
languages as well as the implications arising from bilingual speech
processing. In Part II, a series of contextualized studies on
bilingual classrooms are presented, with diverse research designs
applied in different educational settings being a key feature of
these studies. Part III bridges theory and practice by offering an
insight into mono- and multilingual school settings showcasing
examples of educational institutions where bilingualism
successfully soared and depicts the needs related to language
education.

While research into intercultural teaching has grown exponentially
during the past two decades, the research has primarily resorted to
the use of quantitative data collection instruments and the
interpretation of scores calculated through them. As such, studies
in the field can seem somewhat decontextualized, ignoring in some
cases setting-specific parameters. Therefore, further study is
needed to bring together theory, research, and practice
demonstrating how this teaching is reflected in research design and
how it is undertaken in different settings. Intercultural Foreign
Language Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Contexts is an
essential reference source that provides a series of rich insights
into the way intercultural education is practiced in numerous
international contexts and showcases practical examples of teaching
situations and classroom activities that demonstrate its impact
within the classroom. Featuring research on topics such as higher
education, multilingualism, and professionalism, this book is
ideally designed for educators, researchers, administrators,
professionals, academicians, and students seeking pedagogical
guidance on intercultural teaching.

Multilingualism is broadly understood as the knowledge and use of
two or more languages by individuals in their everyday lives, both
private and professional. It is increasingly acknowledged as an
important issue of the contemporary world and the interest in the
matter of multilingualism is growing rapidly in many areas, such as
research, politics, or education. The authors of this book combine
some of the questions in a truly interdisciplinary perspective in
order to provide an insight into the variety and diversity of
research problems of multilingualism. This collection is divided
into ten chapters considering the selected matters from different
points of view, gathering together empirical research from various
fields.
The concept of bilingualism has been analyzed for a very long time.
Its definitions range from native-like competence in two languages
to a minimal proficiency in a second language. Hence one might
question why no consensus has been reached in this matter. The
authors of this volume imply that there exists a number of
theoretical and methodological difficulties raised by older
definitions. The notion of bilingualism has to be investigated from
different perspectives reflected by the dimensions each individual
intends to diagnose. The aim of the book is to review critically
the state of the art in the field of bilingualism. The volume
reveals the details of empirical studies conducted by scholars from
Europe, America and Australia. It depicts a truly interesting
spectrum of research topics starting with the educational aspects
of bilingualism, such as: bilingual acquisition, bilingual
parenting methods and bilingual kindergartens, to reveal various
issues of sociolinguistics and even bilingual literature.
