This study explored the language experiences of dual language learners (DLL; n = 19) and English monolinguals (EM; n = 13) in preschool classrooms where English is the primary language of instruction and many home languages are present. Using the Language ENvironment Analysis™ system as a primary tool, we quantitatively analysed an average of 34…

Chronaki, Anna; Planas, Núria; Svensson Källberg, Petra – Teachers College Record, 2022
Background: The focus on translanguaging practices in multilingual classrooms can be seen, by and large, as responding to risks of violence entailed in diverse contexts of language use, including the teaching and learning of mathematics. However, the practice of translanguaging alone cannot counteract the hegemonic authority of monolingual and…

Kari Sahan; Nicola Galloway; Jim McKinley – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Emerging from the growing body of work on English medium instruction (EMI) in higher education are challenges to policy implementation, particularly when it is implemented top-down without a careful needs analysis or when it fails to address problems associated with 'English-only' implementation and so-called 'native speaker' norms. Our study…

Avinash Pandey; Renuka Ozarkar – Contemporary Education Dialogue, 2025
This article focuses on the ever-increasing stress on multilingual education (MLE) in policy documents, especially its pairing with mother tongues in education (MTE). This focus brings into relief the relationship between MTE, the preservation of linguistic diversity and social democracy. We argue that the outcome of this relationship crucially…

In this article, we--three Asian MotherScholars in the field of language and literacy education--conducted a collaborative self-study to examine how our individual and shared experiences as transnational mothers of emergent bilinguals have shaped our ways of promoting bilingualism and biliteracy. Our study drew on transnational feminist…

Globalisation is increasingly affecting universities worldwide.

This paper investigates the Malawian higher education context and the ways in which staff engage with…

Han, Jinghe – SpringerBriefs in Education, 2022
From the perspective of translanguaging and instruction theories, this Open Access book examines Chinese English Medium Instruction (EMI) lecturers' linguistic and pedagogical characteristics.

Brisson, Geneviève – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021

London: Taylor & Francis] on language, and how they influenced plurilingual students' subject positioning during classroom interactions. I analyse documents published by…

Lorenzo, Francisco; Granados, Adrián; Rico, Nuria – Applied Linguistics, 2021
Previous research has raised concerns that equity may be compromised in content and language integrated learning (CLIL) education, creating schisms in otherwise fairly egalitarian education systems. In Andalusia (southern Spain), where bilingual education has expanded, this article aims to analyze the difference between CLIL bilingual education…

Tibor Toró – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
In Romania most Hungarian-speaking children study in their mother tongue, in Hungarian-language classes. Some of these are organised in 'mixed schools', where parallel Hungarian and Romanian classes coexist in the same institution. Although these institutions seem a good solution for inter-ethnic coexistence, no systematic research has been…

This article explores the recent development of translanguaging from the perspective of multilingualism. This is in light of the multilingual turn in the field of foreign language teaching, particularly English language teaching (ELT), which challenges the fixed and traditional monolingual framework for foreign language education. In particular,…

Prabjandee, Denchai; Kewara, Punwalai – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2023
In many contexts, implementing CLIL is top-down, in which the policy is imposed on teachers to transform monolingual content classes into CLIL classrooms. This implementation brings several challenges to content teachers, who were previously trained as content specialists only. This study attempted to explore the lived experiences of these CLIL…

Julie A. Panagiotopoulou; Yasemin Uçan – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2023
Studies on Family Language Policy state that the shape of family multilingualism is embedded in diverse conditions within and outside the family, like historical, social and political factors, which influence family language practices. In this regard, the monolingual orientation of early childhood education (ECE) institutions in many European…
