Table of ContentsReviewsLike it or not, the language debates in South Africa are back and the authors of this excellent book bring together a collection of papers that are empirically rich, theoretically inventive and politically courageous in making the case for multilingualism in the face of the ubiquity of English in school and society. Jonathan Jansen, University of the Free State, South Africa The volume provides pioneering research that places translanguaging, multiliteracy and multilingual linguistic dispensation at the pedagogical centre of South Africa's higher education, where English and African languages are used side by side. The volume will be welcomed by language practitioners and language students across Africa and the globalised world. Felix Banda, University of the Western Cape, South Africa This collection makes a strong case for the need to support translanguaging practices for pedagogical gain in the South African higher education. The variety of approaches that have been employed in this book provides space for African languages to be used as languages of teaching and learning .The main objective is to improve academic access and success thus leading to curriculum transformation in higher education.
