Ruochen Ning – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Increasing numbers of Chinese students are pursuing graduate degrees in Catalonia. Although highly proficient in both Castilian and English when they arrive, they find themselves in a bilingual society where Catalan, not Castilian, predominates both at universities and in the broader social context. Acquiring Catalan is hence important for both…

Steven Byrne; Aleida Bertran; Anna Tudela Isanta – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Catalonia is an interesting site for language ideology research for several reasons.

Riccardo Amorati – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Language-specific (i.e. the ideal L2 self) and plurilingual selves are now at the forefront of scholarly inquiry in L2 motivation research. Yet, there is a lack of empirical studies examining how language learners reframe their sense of self as speakers of an L2. This study draws on a questionnaire (N = 162) and on semi-structured interviews (N =…

During the last two decades, universities around the world have increased the adoption of English-medium instruction (EMI) as a way to enhance internationalisation and global competitiveness.

Shanhua He – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
This paper proposes a concept of "campus vitality" of languages: the ability of a language to maintain its prestige, visibility and continuity on university campuses.

Martin Howard; Leigh Oakes – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
This study responds to calls for more research on motivations for learning languages other than English (LOTEs) in the new era dominated by global English. In particular, it focuses on the role of societal contextual factors surrounding the status of English and the status of the LOTE as an L2/L3, as factors which may offer a more nuanced…

This article offers a decolonial reading of professional development for English-medium instruction (EMI). The article zooms into the context of Taiwan, where the promotion of EMI has intensified since the 2030 Bilingual Policy was introduced. It is unclear, however, what constitutes EMI professional development, and to what extent the…

Nina Woll; Pierre-Luc Paquet; Isabelle Wouters – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
While studies have shown that additional language (Lx) learners build on knowledge of previously acquired languages (Ringbom 2007), the natural interaction between languages is rarely exploited in Lx classrooms. This study explores the nature of metalinguistic reflections and crosslinguistic connections during plurilingual consciousness-raising…

Sue Ollerhead; Silvia Melo-Pfeifer; Alice Chik – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Despite the global trend of growing diversity in student enrolment, most teacher education programmes remain inward-looking, oriented to national core standards and resist academic calls for internationalisation. While we agree that internationalisation at home is possible under certain circumstances, we put forward the argument that dialogic…
