Abstract:

Multilingualism has become an increasingly common global phenomenon especially
in the last two decades. Therefore, multilingual programmes have now been
regarded as a cornerstone of education systems in many countries around the
world. Learning multiple languages helps us plug into a globalised world and
strengthen links with a multitude of speakers from a diversified reality we
live in. Thanks to the researched cases described in the chapters, further
developments aimed at fostering multilingual practices in the contemporary
world will be enhanced. The chapters included in the present volume, provide
an overview of current theory, research and practice in the field. They deal
with such prominent research topics as multilingual education, language
policies, language contact, identity of multilingual speakers, to name only a
few. The selected chapters focus on the numerous and heterogeneous relations
between languages. They also incorporate a series of contextualized studies
with diverse research designs applied in different settings across the globe.
This volume constitutes a pivotal reference source for the latest scholarly
material on multilingualism from twelve different countries. It is a
thought-provoking collection that provides a series of rich insights into the
way multilingualism is practised in international contexts. It is ideally
designed for academics, upper-level students, educators, professionals and
practitioners seeking linguistic and pedagogical guidance on multilingualism.
