Abstract:

This book investigates multilingual literacy practices, explores the
technology applied in different educational frameworks, the centrality of
multilingual literacy in non-formal, informal and formal educational contexts,
as well as its presence in everyday life. Thematically clustered in four
parts, the chapters present an overview of theory related to multilingual
literacy, address the methodological challenges of research in the area,
describe and evaluate projects set up to foster multilingual literacy in a
variety of educational contexts, analyze the literacy practices of
multilinguals and their contribution to language and literacy acquisition.
This volume aims to initiate a change in paradigms, shifting from structured
and conservative problematizations to inclusive and diverse conceptualizations
and practices. To that end, the book showcases explorations of different
methodologies and needs in formal and non-formal educational systems; and it
serves as a springboard for developing multivocal participatory spaces with
opportunities for learning and identity-building for all multilinguals, across
different settings, languages, ages and contexts.
