International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism

Call for Papers – Special Issue on

Bi/Multilingual Identity in Southern Africa

Guest editor: Christa van der Walt



This special issue on bi/multilingual identity in Southern Africa will
consider the way in which identity is perceived, constructed and lived
in multilingual (education) contexts with specific reference to
post-colonial attempts at constructing national identities through
language policies. We invite contributions that grapple with the way
in which bi/multilingualism intersects with identity at various levels
and in various contexts, such as the development of language policies
at local levels and for specific purposes, ethnographic accounts of
classroom language behaviour, analyses of attempts to introduce
Anglo-European schooling models in southern African schools and higher
education institutions, the identity – language link in the context of
high-status colonial languages as well as the urban-rural divide in
bi/multilingual practices and their resultant effect on identity
construction.

The aim of this special issue is to highlight the self-evidence of
bi/multilingual identity in southern African education contexts and to
explore context-sensitive approaches to bi/multingual education in a
way that would make full use of the advantages of hybrid and fluid
bi/multilingual identities.
