Multilingualism as a Resource and a Goal

More about the book

Multilingualism is framed as both a resource and an objective in educational settings marked by student diversity and institutional monolingualism. The author integrates translanguaging and sociocultural theories to develop a comprehensive framework for incorporating foreign and heritage languages across curricula in mainstream schools. By aligning language practices with educational goals, the book seeks to guide school leaders and educators in fostering multilingualism, ultimately improving outcomes for bilingual and multilingual students. It also appeals to students and academics in bilingual education and applied linguistics.
