Abstract:

Through an ethnographic study that took place in highly diverse
primary school classrooms in London and the East of England, UK, this
book engages with teachers’ perspectives and children's descriptions
of their plurilingual experiences, as it explores what constitutes,
hinders and potentially facilitates teachers’ agency in multilingual
pedagogies. The concept of teacher agency offers a powerful lens for
critical reflections on the – often monolingual – status quo and on
possible transformations in schools, where teachers seek to create
pedagogical spaces that acknowledge, engage and promote pupils’
plurilingual repertoires. This book develops a nuanced framework for
understanding and enhancing teacher agency in multilingual pedagogies.
It also encourages teacher educators and policymakers to recognise
multilingual pedagogies as an integral part of (primary) school
pedagogy and to support the capacity of present and future teachers to
build on their professional knowledge and experiences, when
normalising multilingual pedagogies in mainstream schools.
