Jieun Kiaer – Multilingual Matters, 2025
This book demonstrates the importance of raising multilingual children in the UK, both for the children's own benefit and for the benefit of society as a whole. Against the backdrop of both the rich linguistic diversity already present in the UK and the challenges faced by any languages other than a few major European languages to find any space…

Pelin Jackson; Leslie Dietiker – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
In this article, the authors offer strategies on how to make use of English language learners' (ELLs') linguistic repertoire and reframe their diverse skills as valuable assets to create more equitable and inclusive learning environments. The authors provide an example of a task that reframes language as an asset. The authors also discuss the…

Ruth Swanwick; Derrick Asomaning; Elettra Casellato; Nathalie Czeke; Daniel Fobi – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2025
This paper discusses methodologies for examining the multilingual language experiences of young deaf children that are sensitive to different cultural contexts of childhood, caregiving and language practices. We argue that in the context of early support, the combined use of situated multilingual and multimodal approaches to examine and assess…

King, Marika R.; Soto, Gloria – Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 2022
Multilingual individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) often shift between language environments and speakers of different languages; thus, code-switching (or alternating between languages or dialects within or across contexts) becomes necessary for effective communication. Recently, AAC product developers have responded…

Karen L. Terrell – Phi Delta Kappan, 2024
The latest content and practice standards for mathematics have promoted the use of academic language and discourse in this content area. As such, the WIDA Consortium has evolved its guidelines to deepen teachers' conceptual understanding of language in their content areas, and thus, enable them to provide more effective instruction to multilingual…

Heath Rose; Ernesto Macaro; Kari Sahan; Ikuya Aizawa; Sihan Zhou; Minhui Wei – Language Teaching, 2023
English Medium Instruction (EMI) has been defined as 'the use of the English language to teach academic subjects (other than English itself) in countries or jurisdictions where the first language (L1) of the majority of the population is not English' (Macaro, 2018, p. 19). This definition has proved to be controversial but has underpinned the work…

Ayse Ozturk – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
In teaching bi/multilingual students, translanguaging underscores "what students know and can do (speak two languages) instead of what they do not know (English)" (Phakeng & Moschkovich, 2013, p. 125). Employing translanguaging strategies in the mathematics classroom can create an inclusive learning environment that values students'…

Reigh, Emily; Miller, Emily Adah; Simani, Maria Chiara; Severson, Alice – Science and Children, 2023
Since the "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS) were released, K-12 science teachers have been figuring out how to extend related learning opportunities to all students, including multilingual learners (MLLs) who are new to speaking English. Elementary schools often prioritize math and English language arts, the subjects that are…

Larissa Aronin – Educational Linguistics, 2021
The concept of Dominant Language Constellations (DLC) is complementary to the notion of language repertoire. It denotes the set of a person's most expedient languages, functioning as an entire unit and enabling an individual to meet all their needs in a multilingual environment. While a language repertoire refers to the totality of linguistic…

Lilly Padía; María Cioè-Peña; Jennifer Phuong – Theory Into Practice, 2024
TrUDL is a pedagogical approach that considers the intersections of "translanguaging" and "Universal Design for Learning" (UDL) to support the needs of students in any classroom, but especially emergent multilinguals labeled as disabled (EMLADs). In this article, we offer tools to help educators ensure their lessons support the…

Gurney, Laura; Demuro, Eugenia – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2022
This paper traces recent theorisation stemming from the multilingual turn and brings this into dialogue with assemblage thinking, discussing the critical potential of bringing these perspectives together to explore what language is and how it is understood. The argument maps salient features of the multilingual turn which have extended the fields…

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…

Aronin, Larissa; Moccozet, Laurent – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2023
In today's globalised world, a single named language such as English, Norwegian or Spanish, no matter how 'big' it is, rarely satisfies all the needs of communication, cooperation, education or any other area of human life. Neither is the entire language repertoire plausible for everyday use, simply because it is impossible to use too many…
