"This book maps out the pedagogical implications of the global spread and diversification of pluricentric languages for language education and showcases new approaches that can take account of linguistic diversity. Moving the discussion of contemporary norms, aims, and approaches to pluricentric languages in language education beyond English, this book provides a multilingual, comparative perspective through case study examples of Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, and Vietnamese. The chapters document, compare and evaluate existing practices in the teaching of pluricentric languages, and highlights different pedagogical approaches that embrace their variability and diversity. Presenting approaches to overcome barriers to innovation in language education, the book will be of great interest to academics, researchers, doctoral students in the field of language education, as well as socio- and applied linguists. Practitioners interested in linguistic diversity more broadly will also find this book engaging"--

Sprachbildung hat einen emanzipatorischen Charakter. Matthias Sieberkrob arbeitet diesen Charakter für den Geschichtsunterricht im Sinne des historischen Erzählens mit Agency aus. Der Autor fokussiert die Professionalisierung von Geschichtslehrer:innen in diesem Bereich, wobei er studentische Planungsgespräche für sprachbildenden Geschichtsunterricht mit einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse untersucht. Die Ergebnisse offenbaren grundsätzliche Schwierigkeiten der Student:innen mit dieser Aufgabe. Daher entwickelt Sieberkrob ein Rahmenmodell sprachbildenden Geschichtsunterrichts, das auf die Förderung von Agency ausgerichtet und sowohl für die Professionalisierung von Geschichtslehrer:innen als auch für die Praxis des Geschichtsunterrichts relevant ist.

“For language educators who have wondered how to incorporate the theoretical insights of the multilingual turn into instruction, help is here! In this volume, Krulatz and Christison set out their model, MADE, which shows how a multilingual perspective can be incorporated into diverse classrooms, curriculum design, materials development, and teacher preparation.” Donna Christian, Senior Fellow, Center for Applied Linguistics, USA “This book is exactly what teachers working with linguistically and culturally diverse students have been waiting for: a resource grounded in the latest scientific literature that explains how to teach and manage multilingual classrooms. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in translating theories on multilingualism into practical classroom applications.” Gessica De Angelis, Associate Professor, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway “This volume challenges practitioners in the field of language teaching and learning to consider multilingualism in a classroom as the norm, rather than an exception. In acknowledging the complexity of multilingual learners’ linguistic repertoires, the authors support educators in implementing pedagogical approaches that center multilingualism in practical ways.” Kristen Lindahl, Associate Professor, University of Texas, USA This book introduces the Multilingual Approach to Diversity in Education (MADE), a framework that provides an extensive, holistic instrument with research-based teacher indicators for teachers, teacher educators, and administrators to deliver optimal education to multilingual learners in a range of contexts. The authors introduce and provide a theoretical and research-based rationale for the MADE, presenting in turn each of its seven indicators, situating them within current research and theory in multilingualism and education, and providing specific examples of classroom applications. This book will be of interest to academics, teacher educators, pre-service and practicing teachers, and graduate students interested in teaching and researching multilingual learners. Anna Krulatz is Professor of English in the Department of Teacher Education at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway. MaryAnn Christison is Professor of Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA.

This edited volume presents eleven empirical papers reporting the existing literature and the results of an original study focusing on EMI (English as a medium of instruction) in a particular area (Central and Eastern Europe, Western and Southern Europe, Nordic/Baltic countries, Central Asia, the Middle East, East Asia, South-East Asia, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America). Each of these different areas tends to have its own ways of dealing with the EMI issue, and these are brought together in a meta-analysis in the final chapter. Implications for the conduct of English as a medium of instruction are drawn, both on a chapter-by-chapter basis and also in the meta-analysis. The examination of EMI on a contextual basis is a unique feature of this book, setting it apart from others in the field, which almost all deal with a single or limited context. The volume will be of interest to policymakers, institutional heads, graduate students and their teachers, and to thesis writers and researchers.

With millions of people becoming multilingual writers in the globalized digital world, this book helps to empower writers to connect with their readers and project their identities effectively across languages, social contexts, and genres. In a series of closely-related studies that build on each other, we look comprehensively at how writers develop their ability to construct meaning for different audiences in multiple languages. This book, which draws on various approaches (including a social view of writing, multicompetence, adaptive transfer, complex systems theory, motivation, and translanguaging), contributes to on-going efforts to integrate differing approaches to multilingual writing research. This book focusses on how writer agency (control over text construction), audience awareness (ability to meet expectations of prospective readers), and writer identity (projection of image of the writer in the text) progress as multilingual writers gain more experience across languages. The within-writer, cross-sectional text analysis (Chapters 2-5) examines 185 essays written in Japanese and English by eight groups of writers from novice to advanced (N=103), supplemented by insights from these writers’ reflections. We explore how they employ three kinds of text features (discourse types, metadiscourse, and self-representation), which relate to their developing agency, audience, and writer identity in their text construction, and propose a new model for writer voice construction based on those features. The four case studies (Chapters 6-9) focus on five university students and six professionals to examine closely how individual writers’ agency, audience, and identity are interrelated in their text construction in two or three languages and diverse genres, including academic and creative writing. The combined studies provide new insights into multilingual writing development by revealing the close interrelationship among these three principal aspects of writing across languages. They also demonstrate the writers’ multi-directional use of dynamic transfer (reuse and reshaping) for L1, L2, and L3 text construction, and the use of mixed languages L1/L2 or L1/L3 (translanguaging) for composing processes, in addition to the creative power of multilingual writers. One significant contribution of this book is to provide models of innovative ways to analyze text and new directions for writing research that go beyond complexity, accuracy, and fluency. Categories and detailed examples of text features used for writer voice construction (e.g., specific characteristics of Personal, Emergent, and Mature Voice) are helpful for writing teachers and for developing writers to improve ways of conveying their own intended writer identity to the reader. The studies break new ground by extending our analysis of L2 writing to the same writers’ L1 and L3 writing and multiple genres. .
