<font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif" size="4"><br>
</font>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif" size="4">We would like to invite you to contribute to a planned edited volume exploring translanguaging and English-medium instruction.
The working title of our proposed volume is <i>At the Crossroads of English-medium Instruction and Translanguaging: Global Perspectives</i>. We have established contact with an interested publisher of a series focusing on multilingualism in education.<span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif" size="4"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif" size="4">In the proposed volume, we focus on translanguaging and English-medium instruction (EMI) in a global perspective, with a wide
variety of multilingual contexts represented. Here, the term <i>EMI </i>refers to an educational approach in which English is used as the language of instruction for academic subjects in “countries or jurisdictions where the first language (L1) of the majority
of the population is not English” (Dearden, 2014, p. 2). The growing prevalence of EMI at all levels of education, including primary school, secondary school, and tertiary education, gives rise to a number of questions with regard to the use of linguistic
resources in various educational contexts.<span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif" size="4"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif" size="4"><i>Translanguaging</i> offers a holistic, dynamic view of bilingualism and multilingualism. It focuses on the natural, communicative
practices of bi/multilinguals and posits that they “select and deploy particular features from a unitary linguistic repertoire to make meaning and to negotiate particular communicative contexts” (Vogel & García, 2017, p. 1). Translanguaging also represents
a pedagogy that creates a safe, inclusive space for all learners to draw upon their full linguistic repertoires to acquire, understand, and demonstrate knowledge (García, 2009). It holds the promise of affirming and leveraging students’ diverse and flexible
language practices in EMI contexts, providing them with access to English while also sustaining their cultural and linguistic heritages (Paris, 2012).<span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif" size="4"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif" size="4">We envisage this volume as an exploration of new methodologies and critical views, and expect it to contribute to the definitions
and applications of translanguaging as theory and pedagogy as well as to new understandings of EMI across contexts. While research on translanguaging has increased dramatically in recent years, we have noted a dearth of studies focusing on the affordances
and constraints that translanguaging processes present in relation to the EMI classroom (see however Paulsrud, 2016; Toth & Paulsrud, 2017). Research shows that some programs offering EMI may encourage the exclusive use of the target language (English) while
discouraging the use of students’ other languages (Toth, 2017). In such programs, the focus may be on simply using English as a vehicle to teach academic subjects, with little or no attention paid to linguistic issues.<span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif" size="4"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif" size="4">The volume will present issues surrounding translanguaging and English-medium instruction, with an overview of EMI and translanguaging
as a theory and pedagogy followed by empirical and conceptual studies on translanguaging and EMI. We plan to conclude the book with a discussion of future directions for EMI.<span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif" size="4"><br>
We welcome your abstract for a proposed contribution. In this volume we aim for a wide range of contexts and educational levels, and are especially interested in current, original studies on underrepresented contexts in the field of translanguaging and EMI
research. Both conceptual and empirical studies are welcome.<br>
