This book brings together visions and realities of multilingual schools throughout the world in order to examine the pedagogical, socioeducational, and sociopolitical issues that impact on their development and success. The chapters describe and analyze pedagogical, instructional, and policy efforts to develop multilingualism through school with different targeted populations -- immigrant students, indigenous peoples, traditional minorities, majorities, and multiethnic/multilingual groups. Each contribution, many written by well-known scholars in the field of bilingual and multilingual education, affirms the desirability of multilingualism as a societal resource and as a right of individuals, while acknowledging the social, economic and political differences that make the acquisition of multilingualism easy for some, and difficult for others. And yet, the book focuses on the school as a place of promise and resistance, having the potential to preserve, recover, and expand the world's linguistic diversity. The introduction, written by the co-editors, identifies the conceptual threads that are developed throughout the chapters. But the chapters themselves remind us of the importance of local conditions, despite the global pressures of the 21st century, in imagining and creating multilingual educational spaces.

L'ouvrage montre, sur des exemples de séquences de classe, comment les " jeux de langage " produits par l'étude de situations problématiques peuvent être guidés, utilisés par le maître pour favoriser l'élaboration des connaissances. Le caractère problématique des situations étudiées est souvent provoqué volontairement par une tâche ayant un caractère paradoxal (construire le contraire d'un carré rose, en Arts plastiques ; dire ce que dit un certain personnage par son silence, en Français). Ce caractère paradoxal va nécessiter un approfondissement de la signification des termes utilisés en rapport avec le contexte. Les analyses présentées montrent comment le travail sur la dimension " référentielle " du langage peut-être constitutif d'un accès à la conceptualisation. Cet accès est identifié par la capacité de l'élève à produire un discours pertinent du point de vue du contexte et du savoir en jeu. Les activités analysées relèvent de divers niveaux et disciplines : Français, Mathématiques, Physique, Biologie à l'école élémentaire et Arts plastiques au collège. Par ailleurs, l'ouvrage propose dans une partie autonome les concepts et outils du cadre d'analyse privilégié par les auteurs : la sémantique logique, et particulièrement " les jeux de langage ", tels que les conçoit Wittgenstein, comme éléments constitutifs de la construction des significations en fonction des contextes. L'ouvrage s'adresse plus particulièrement aux futurs enseignants et à leurs formateurs, ainsi qu'aux publics qui s'intéressent au rôle du langage dans les didactiques des disciplines en jeu, notamment les étudiants des formations doctorales correspondantes.
