Abstract:

"Introducing Multilingualism" is a brand new, comprehensive and user-friendly 
introduction to the dynamic field of multilingualism. 

Adopting a compelling social and critical approach, Jean-Jacques Weber and 
Kristine Horner guide readers through the established theories about 
multilingualism. The book covers language as a social construct, language 
contact and variation, language and identity and the differences between 
individual and societal multilingualism. The authors also provide an 
alternative approach to studying multilingualism, introducing innovative 
concepts such as flexible multilingualism and literacy bridge in order to 
encourage students to critically question dominant discourses on topics such 
as integration, heritage and language testing. 

This highly practical textbook incorporates a wide range of engaging activities 
and encourages students to think critically about important social and 
educational issues. Throughout, the theoretical content is explored through a 
wide range of case studies from around the world. 

Clearly argued and widely applicable, this book is essential reading for 
undergraduate students and postgraduate students new to studying 
multilingualism.
