Abstract:

Starting from the key idea that learners and teachers bring diverse linguistic
knowledge and resources to education, this book establishes and explores the
concept of the ‘multilingual turn’ in languages education and the potential
benefits for individuals and societies. It takes account of recent research,
policy and practice in the fields of bilingual and multilingual education as
well as foreign and second language education. The chapters integrate theory
and practice, bringing together researchers and practitioners from five
continents to illustrate the effects of the multilingual turn in society and
evaluate the opportunities and challenges of implementing multilingual
curricula and activities in a variety of classrooms. Based on the examples
featured, the editors invite students, teachers, teacher educators and
researchers to reflect on their own work and to evaluate the relevance and
applicability of the multilingual turn in their own contexts.
