Marianne Turner; Ekaterina Tour – Australian Journal of Language and Literacy, 2024
In countries such as Australia, the bi/multilingual student demographic is increasing. Bi/multilingual students are commonly learning alongside monolingual students and also Indigenous and first- and second-generation immigrant students who have a great range of exposure to heritage languages. In this article, we explore how literacies and…

Alice Chik; Silvia Melo-Pfeifer – Language Awareness, 2024
Many metropolitan cities have undergone rapid demographic changes in recent years, and such changes hasten and widen linguistic diversities. Similar changes are happening in Sydney, Australia and Hamburg, Germany. These changes are most acutely felt and observed in the classrooms where multiple languages are spoken, despite a prevalent monolingual…

Özkaya, Perihan Gülce – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2022
Digital storytelling is a method often preferred in the education process in terms of its appeal to different senses by creating a multimedia environment, and it may also be used in the development of language skills as it often includes both textual and audio elements. The current study investigates the research trends of digital storytelling,…

Joel Windle; Kathleen Heugh; Mei French; Janet Armitage; Li-Ching Chang – Language Awareness, 2023
In this paper, we build on southern and decolonial theories of multilingualism and invite a south-north conversation through a concept we propose as "reciprocal multilingual awareness." Reciprocity is a core value of southern societies that balance pluralities of episteme, language, and communality. Central features of southern…

Ekaterina Tour; Marianne Turner; Anne Keary; Khanh-Linh Tran-Dang – Language and Education, 2024
It has been widely recognised that plurilingual pedagogy offers many benefits both for language learning and learning in general. However, in contexts where the linguistic profile of students is diverse, it can still be challenging for teachers to view working with the language resources of their students as feasible. In this article, we discuss…

This paper explores the reported practices of five specialist EAL/D teachers from a rural Australian town.

M. Obaidul Hamid; Peter Crosthwaite – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2024
Children's writing development is a matter of concern for Australian and other education systems. Factors related to the nature of writing as a literate skill, school writing pedagogy, and diminishing role of writing in a screen-dominant environment may account for this educational concern. What happens in a child's writing when immigrant parents…

Oliver, Rhonda; Wigglesworth, Gillian; Angelo, Denise; Steele, Carly – Language Teaching Research, 2021
With a focus on Australian Aboriginal students, in this article we argue that translanguaging provides a useful resource for multilingual learners. We point out that although translanguaging is a relatively recent term, in Indigenous Australia is has been used consistently throughout the ages as people from different languages communicated with…

Indigenous peoples have rightful aspirations for their languages and cultures, supported under international conventions, jurisdictional treaties, laws, policies and enquiry recommendations.

Heinrichs, Danielle H.; Hager, Gail; McCormack, Brittany A.; Lazaroo, Natalie – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2023
This article aims to visibilise the opportunities for decolonising standardised language practices for multilingual students learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D) in Australian schools. We suggest that a decolonising approach to language education would value the multilingual, non-standard, and diverse language practices of…

The Asia-Pacific region hosts the largest number of refugees and displaced people in the world, and is the place of origin for nearly half of all international migrants. However, data related to the unique language-in-education needs of refugee and migrant children in and from this area is sparse. The report aims to create a stronger knowledge…

Cohrssen, Caroline; Slaughter, Yvette; Nicolas, Edith – TESOL in Context, 2021
Children are members of families and communities, and the languages learnt within these contexts contribute to a child's sense of "belonging, being and becoming" throughout life (Department of Education Employment and Workplace Relations, 2009). Encouraging children to bring their home languages into early childhood education and care…
