Call for Chapter Abstracts

Edited volume – Embracing Multilingualism across Educational Contexts

Corinne Seals and Vincent Olsen-Reeder (Victoria University of Wellington, New
Zealand)

We are pleased to announce a call for chapter abstracts for the upcoming
edited volume Embracing Multilingualism across Educational Contexts, to be
published mid-2019.

Researchers in linguistics, applied linguistics, education, languages, and
related fields are increasingly investigating the effects of different types
of supportive language education, from minority language immersion models to
flexible multilingual education models (e.g. Cenoz & Gorter 2015; García 2009,
2011; Weber 2014). These investigations have also led to the rise in
popularity of investigations into translanguaging – what it means, how it can
be used, who benefits, and how. Furthermore, translanguaging models can often
work in conjunction with other models of language education, leading to a
complex teaching and learning atmosphere that deserves further study.

As the lead researchers of Translanguaging Aotearoa
(http://translanguaging.nz), we seek to bring together some of the vast
expertise that exists internationally in the realm of multilingual education.
Thus, the current volume focuses on researcher-led and practitioner-led
studies of translanguaging in teaching. We are also interested in the role of
translanguaging approaches as applied to traditionally immersion contexts. In
all cases, this volume will particularly pay attention to how one best
services heritage languages, including both Indigenous and immigrant
languages. We will be actively including researchers, activists, policy
makers, and practitioners in this volume.

Some themes of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Translanguaging in language education
- Use of translanguaging in other types of education
- Models of language education that support heritage language maintenance
- Inclusion of heritage language support in “mainstream” classrooms
- Support of Indigenous languages through multilingual models of education
- Support of immigrant languages through multilingual models of education
- The relationship between immersion education and translanguaging
- Fluid multilingual models of education in early childhood education, primary
school, secondary school, or university
- Fluid multilingual models of education in non-traditional models of
schooling
- Community experiences with translanguaging and other models of multilingual
education
- Policy and planning perspectives on translanguaging and other models of
multilingual education

Chapter abstracts of 350 – 500 words should be emailed to Corinne Seals at
Corinne.Seals at vuw.ac.nz Received abstracts will be sent an email acknowledging
receipt. All abstracts should also be accompanied by a short biographical note
of up to 150 words for each author.

All authors who are accepted for the volume will be expected to also review
one other chapter from the book in February 2019.

*Please note – the timeframe for submission and turnaround is fairly tight due
to the book being launched at the Embracing Multilingualism across Educational
Contexts Symposium, to be held 28 June 2019 at Victoria University of
Wellington in Wellington, New Zealand. A separate call for papers for the
symposium will be launched in the near future.
Important Dates:

- Abstract Deadline: 31 October 2018
- Notification of Acceptance: 15 November 2018
- Chapters Due: 1 February 2019
- Reviews Returned: by 1 March 2019
- Revised Chapters Due: 1 April 2019
- Book Launched: June 2019

Thank you, and we look forward to receiving your chapter abstracts soon!
