About this book
The most up-to-date reference text on the latest science in plurilingual and intercultural language education, covering both new research and current practice
The Handbook of Plurilingual and Intercultural Language Learning reveals the nuances and complexities of teaching and learning languages while providing a timely account of the most recent developments and research in the field. The first reference work to examine plurilingual and intercultural language teaching and learning trends across five continents, this innovative volume examines the various ways learners acquire language.
Divided into four sections, this Handbook explains the conceptual basis of intercultural and plurilingual learning, describes core pedagogical concepts in different contexts, discusses various learning and teaching approaches, and surveys the historical development of foreign language instruction, methods, and theories. In-depth chapters address code-switching and translanguaging, equity in foreign language learning, intercultural sensitivity, technology-enhanced learning, world Englishes, the role of language policy in nation-building, the situations of migrants in language classrooms, and more.
