Description
Book SynopsisWith increasing mobility of people across the world, there is a pressing need to develop evidence-based teaching practices that lead to high-quality education, which serves the needs of inclusive societies and social and epistemic justice. This book presents cutting-edge qualitative case-study research across a range of educational contexts, research-method contributions and theory-oriented chapters by distinguished multilingual education scholars. These take stock of the field of translanguaging in relation to the education of multilingual individuals in today’s globalized world. The volume breaks new ground in that all chapters share a focus on teachers as ‘knowledge generators’ and many on teacher-researcher collaboration. Together, the chapters provide comprehensive and up-to-date applications of the concept of pedagogical translanguaging and present recent research in educational contexts that have hitherto received scant attention, namely secondary-level education, education for adult immigrants and the school-wide introduction of pedagogical translanguaging in primary school.
Chapters 1, 3, 4 and 8 are free to download as open access publications. They can be downloaded from our website: https://www.channelviewpublications.com/page/open-access/.
Trade ReviewSpringing from the Nordic region and beyond, this collection of research-based studies provides the much-needed bridging between translanguaging theories and translanguaging pedagogies across a wide range of instructional contexts. It is a must read for teachers, scholars and teacher educators interested in gaining inspirations from examples of pedagogical translanguaging in their ongoing battles against racism, classism and monolingualism. * Angel M. Y. Lin, Simon Fraser University, Canada *
This outstanding volume is a great contribution to research on translanguaging at different levels of education. By combining theoretical and research perspectives this collection clearly shows the advantages of using students’ multilingual resources in educational contexts. The illuminating insights in this book will be highly useful for scholars, teachers and teacher educators. * Jasone Cenoz, University of the Basque Country, UPV/EHU, Spain *
Juvonen and Källkvist have put together a thought-provoking volume of studies of pedagogical translanguaging. The practical as well as theoretical insights from practitioners and researchers are particularly significant. They will help to keep the debates over the education of minoritized and racialised bilingual learners going for many years to come. * Li Wei, UCL Institute of Education, UK *
...the editors of this collection have carefully selected the case-study chapters in order to present a wide range of examples that touch upon various age groups, stakeholders, types of education and social contexts. They offer a rich repertoire to be drawn on in instructional contexts.
