 taken place with a <em><span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">‘shift away from learning and teaching in traditional settings with physical interactions’</span></em> (UNESCO, 2020a, p. 7), towards a distance, online or blended approach.  In
 many cases combining a learning from home model with support from teachers and schools (Said et al, 2021). Formal learning, and with it the education system, has entered the home in a way that it has never done so previously. In this context, <em><span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">‘the
 family more than ever constitutes a learning space, in which parents and caregivers act as primary guides to support their children’s learning at home’ </span></em>(UNESCO, 2020b, p. 1). Unquestionably this ‘learning’ has gone beyond that of school subjects
 and given the intense space and time sharing that families have experienced, there is no doubt that the <em><span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">learning, re-learning and un-learning</span></em> of multiple languages has also taken place
 at home among multilingual families. The family has always been a learning space and recognized as such in anthropology, language socialization studies and most prominently in family language policy studies (Schalley et al, 2020; Lanza & Lexander, 2019; Said
 & Hua, 2019; Gomes, 2018; Curdt-Christiansen & Lanza, 2018; Piller & Gerber, 2018; Fogle, 2012; 2013; King & Fogle, 2017; Okita, 2002). In the context of lockdowns or hybrid learning, everyday subtle qualities of the home environment, socio-affective factors
 of language learning and language socialization (Ochs & Schieffelin, 1984) become more pronounced.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">This special issue therefore seeks to present a set of empirical papers that describe and chronicle the central role the family unit has played in the learning and
 use of multiple languages during the super-charged intense tempo-spatial home environment created by the pandemic restrictions. Families spent the most time together and this resulted in increased interaction and more joint activities than before the pandemic.
 Some excellent research has already taken place with findings emerging in short papers or media reports. These few studies have so far illustrated how the lockdown at home has offered (mostly) favourable conditions for the learning of home or heritage languages
 (HL) (Li Sheng et al, 2021; Afreen & Norton 2021; Escobar, 2020; Hardach, 2020). There is, however, a lack of research on how the lockdown may interfere with the dynamics of language shift or what the effects of languages of instructions entering the home
 in unprecedented ways may have had on HL learning. Families that did not speak the language of instruction in their homes for example were forced to speak it with their children in order to facilitate learning (see Chik & Benson, 2021 for a commentary). The
 volume seeks to explore the realities of private language planning, learning, and use within the home during this unique period of existence; and from that perspective, we ask the following questions:</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
