Meeting Description:

Emerging frontiers for multilingual education

Scholarship on multilingual education has questioned monolingual bias and took
a broad approach to linguistic and cultural diversity for classroom
encounters. While there is a growing consensus on the negative effects of
monolingual approaches, emergent frontiers and innovative programmes that
valorise multilingual education are invariably still in their infancy. There
is very little that is known to date about emerging epistemologies,
technologies, folk literacies, didactic practices, demographic shifts, and
policy formulations that may be leveraged to advance innovations and
theorization of multilingual practices in education across a wider spectrum of
contexts. The 5th international conference on multilingual education and
literacies at the University of the Witwatersrand welcomes researchers,
teachers, policy makers and social activists to engage in evidence-based
dialogues where they interrogate discourses on new frontiers appertaining to
multilingual education.
