Abstract:

This book brings together empirical studies from around the world to help
readers gain a better understanding of multilinguals, ranging from small
children to elderly people, and their lives. The chapters focus on the
multilingual subjects’ identities and the ways in which they are discursively
and/or visually constructed, and are split into sections looking specifically
at the multilingual self, the multilingual learner and multilingual teacher
education. The studies draw on rich visual data, which is analysed for content
and/or form and often complemented with other types of data, to investigate
how multilinguals make sense of their use and knowledge of more than one
language in their specific context. The topic of multilingualism is addressed
as subjectively experienced and the book unites the current multilingual,
narrative and visual turns in Applied Language Studies. It will be of interest
to students and researchers working in the areas of language learning and
teaching, teacher education and bi/multilingualism, as well as to those
interested in using visual methods and narratives as a means of academic
research.
