Ava Becker – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2025
International travel is still commonly touted as one of the most effective tools for language learning, yet it remains an elusive activity for those without a certain amount of economic or legal privilege.

McIvor, Onowa; Ball, Jessica – FIRE: Forum for International Research in Education, 2019

This is the first large-scale study of resources as a form of "language management" -- that is, a way of influencing children's language practices. We introduce the distinction between child-directed resources (i.e. those providing parents with opportunities to engage with their children in the languages they are transmitting) and…
