Abstract:

In the context of increasingly multilingual global educational settings, this
book provides a timely exploration of the phenomenon of cross-linguistic
transfer of writing strategies (in particular, transfer from the foreign
language to the first language) and presents a compelling case for a
multilingual approach to writing pedagogy. The book presents evidence from a
classroom-based intervention study conducted in a secondary school in England
on cross-linguistic strategy transfer. It suggests that even beginner or low
proficiency foreign language learners can develop effective skills and
strategies in the foreign language classroom which can also positively
influence writing in other languages, including their first language. This
book ultimately encourages more joined-up, cross-curricular, cross-linguistic
thinking related to language in schools by exploring the potential for
collaboration between languages teachers.
