Add your own review!

Overview

This edited volume offers an overarching, yet detailed view of fast-changing language policy and practice in Europe and beyond. It provides a thorough investigation of different linguacultural scenarios, exploring how language policy has repercussions on research and initiatives in the field of language education. With contributions from a range of European settings as well as Turkey and the USA, the book discusses topical issues related to language learning and explores how these can shape our identities. Chapters present cutting-edge research on translanguaging, English Medium Instruction, multilingualism and minority languages in Europe. The volume forecasts what future educational policies might look like, and questions how evaluating and rethinking educational practices can produce positive effects on language practices as well as language policies. The book has a wide-reaching international focus and will be an important resource for researchers, academics, language experts and postgraduate students in the fields of applied linguistics, language education and sociolinguistics.

Reviews

'In recent years the teaching of English as a Medium of Instruction has become one of the 'hot' issues in the field of global education. Often accused of being a new form of colonialism, it is only by integrating EMI within a paradigm that also includes translanguaging and the use of English as a Lingua Franca that respect for native languages and cultures can effectively be maintained worldwide. The volume edited by Di Sabato and Hughes competently illustrates these highly topical concerns'. Paolo Balboni, Universita Ca' Foscari, Italy 'If ever we needed a time to find ways of understanding each other that go above and beyond mere linguacultural differences, that time is now. Language education is critical for this and must adapt to our superdiverse world. The contributions in this wonderful volume help show the way'. Andy Kirkpatrick, Professor Emeritus, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia.
