Sun Jung Joo; Alice Chik; Emilia Djonov – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
The increasing influx into Australia of (im)migrants whose first language is not English has made Australia linguistically more diverse than ever.

Leung, Genevieve; Calcagno, Serena; Tong, Rosina; Uchikoshi, Yuuko – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2022
While the role of parental ideologies on children's bi/multilingual development and the role of children's beliefs about multilingualism are well-documented, less work examines how parental and student ideologies are enacted through talk. That is, how do students interpret what their family caregivers tell them about bi/multilingualism, and how do…
