It illustrates the current state of multimodal composing and literacies, with an emphasis on English learners' language and literacy development. The book addresses issues concerning multilinguals' multimodal composing and reflects on what the nexus of multimodality, writing development, and multilingual education entails for future research. It provides research-driven and practice-oriented perspectives of multilinguals' multimodal composing, drawing on empirical data from classroom contexts to elucidate aspects of multimodal composing from a range of theoretical perspectives such as multiliteracies, systemic functional linguistics, and social semiotics. This book bridges the gap among theory, research, and practice in TESOL and applied linguistics.

Drawing from liberation psychology and betrayal trauma theory, Decolonizing Asian American Psychology is an essential resource for psychotherapists working with Asian American clients. It clarifies the distinction between historical and generational trauma and presents additional key concepts for conceptualizing Asian American experiences, including institutional betrayal trauma, cultural betrayal trauma, and epistemic violence. In doing so, it offers a critical analysis of how the model minority myth perpetuates biases in research and practice regarding Asian Americans. Models for theory, practice, and social justice are richly illustrated with interviews, client testimonios, and case presentations using relational cultural therapy.
