Abstract:

This book presents empirical research from a wide range of South Asian
contexts, in order to develop critical understandings of the intricate
relationships between translingual practices, language education,
social justice and equity. The chapters explore the feasibility,
acceptance and prospects of translingual practices as meaningful
communication and pedagogic practices in South Asian English language
classrooms.
The authors identify diverse language uses in sociolinguistically
unexplored formal domains of education and address the persistent
monolingual biases and ideologies, hegemonic language policies and
negative attitudes towards non-standard varieties of English and other
languages within these contexts.
The book raises awareness of the marginalisation, violence,
intolerance and injustice sustained through English language education
in South Asia and suggests steps to ensure linguistic rights,
linguistic equity and social justice.
