Singh, Leher – Child Development Perspectives, 2021
Bilingual environments are more complex than monolingual environments.

Turnbull, Blake – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2018
In many environments in which foreign languages (FL) are taught, the emergent bilingual status of FL learners is often overlooked. The dominant monolingual language pedagogies of conventional FL classrooms do not fundamentally recognise the natural interaction of the first language (L1) and second language (L2) in the learners' minds. Although the…

Formosinho, Maria; Jesus, Paulo; Reis, Carlos – Critical Studies in Education, 2019
Language is the main resource for meaningful action, including the very formation of selves and psychosocial identities, shaped by practical norms, beliefs, and values.

Watson, Missy; Shapiro, Rachael – Composition Forum, 2018
While we in composition studies may have grown more sensitive to and welcoming of cultural and linguistic differences in the classroom, we remain far from united in pursuits to combat explicitly in our pedagogies the politics of standardized English. To move toward linguistic justice, we call for unified intention and action across our field to…
