Lara-Stephanie Krause-Alzaidi – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
The practices of sorting things out and bringing things together, which I summarise under the term relanguaging, sit between fluid, situated languaging practices and the administrative standard grid in education that relies on bounded, named languages. Relanguaging, I argue, was invisible to socio- and applied linguists' analytical vision because…

Vivien C. W. To – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2024
In Hong Kong, Chinese and English are considered separate mediums of instruction. English immersion is expected for schools that teach with English as the medium of instruction, and direct instruction in Chinese is often used to teach English in Chinese medium schools. Evidently, a great divide persists in the Hong Kong government curriculum. In…

Robert Godwin-Jones – Language Learning & Technology, 2025
Less commonly taught languages (LCTLs) have traditionally lagged behind in terms of the availability of learning/teaching materials and of appropriate pedagogical models. For many languages, online tools, courses, and digital archives have been developed in recent years that offer opportunities for both formal instruction and self-study. Now the…

The aim of the Regional Dossier series is to provide concise descriptions of regional or minority languages in education, mainly in Europe but also in other parts of the world. The majority of the Hungarian-speaking population in Slovenia lives in the bilingual ethnically mixed area of the Prekmurje region, where both Slovene and Hungarian are…

This book is a comprehensive introduction to the topic of assessing students who use two or more languages in their daily life.

Tracey Costley; Nancy Kula; Lutz Marten – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
Zambia is home to a complex set of language practices, which involve languages being used in different ways across social contexts. Historically written communication has typically been associated with English with African languages mainly associated with used spoken contexts. Recently, however, there has been a shift in this pattern with African…

Jo Westbrook; Margaret Baleeta; Caroline Dyer; Annette Islei – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
Uganda's "early exit" language policy positions African languages ambiguously in public education provision. Runyoro-Rutooro and Runyankore-Rukiga are spoken in Western Uganda in public spaces where translanguaging happens as a matter of course. These languages are heard at pre-primary and lower primary levels but are superseded by…

Martin East – Language Learning Journal, 2025
Task-based language teaching (TBLT) emerged in the 1980s as a learner-centred and experiential alternative to more established and teacher-led approaches to acquiring an additional language (L2). Two decades ago, a paper published in "The Language Learning Journal" discussed the advantages and drawbacks of TBLT that had become apparent…

M. Garrett Delavan; Juan A. Freire; Ester de Jong – Modern Language Journal, 2025
This theoretical article, with recommendations for practice, interrogates how the field discusses dual language bilingual education (DLBE) models in the United States, with international implications for bilingual, immersion, and content and language integrated learning contexts. We reconceptualize the equity problems and potentials of so-called…

Karen McNamara – English Australia Journal, 2024
Translanguaging, defined as "the deployment of a speaker's full linguistic repertoire without regard for watchful adherence to the socially and politically defined boundaries of named (and usually national and state) languages" (Otheguy et al., 2015, p. 281), has great potential to play a key role in English as a Second Language (ESL)…

Elena Roa-Albert; Alexandra Babino – English in Texas, 2024
This article emphasizes the importance of embracing and mobilizing students' linguistic practices, particularly in bilingual settings. The authors reflect on their experiences as bilingual teachers, initially correcting students' use of regional Spanish variations and translanguaging (mixing English and Spanish). However, through advanced studies,…

Mahapatra, Santosh Kumar; Anderson, Jason – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2023
This paper proposes a framework for multilingual language-in-education policy implementation, offered as a critically constructive response to India's recent "National Education Policy 2020" (GOI, 2020). Rooted in India's existing educational language policy, our linguistically inclusive 'Languages for Learning' (LFL) framework is, we…

Littlewood, William; Shufang, Wang – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2022
An enduring contribution of Richards Sparks' work has been his exploration of the relationship between a learner's first language (L1) and a language that he or she learns subsequently (L2). The present paper considers that relationship from the perspective of learners and teachers of a 'foreign' language in classroom settings. The paper first…

Diana Montealegre Beltran; Kae Novak – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2024
As more higher education institutions in the United States look not only to be designated as Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) but to serve their student population in languages other than English, learning designers who are native speakers or have fluency in languages other than English are utilizing their language and cultural competencies to…

Willging, Tara M.; de Oliveira, Luciana C. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
Understanding and communicating through language is necessary for all content areas, but often it is limited to explicit instruction during English language arts lessons. Pedagogical translanguaging is an instructional approach that promotes multilingualism as a dynamic system. It is an asset-based approach that builds on students' range of…
