Promoting Multilingual Practices for Linguistically Diverse Learners in Global Contexts

The eleventh volume in the Routledge-TIRF series presents research on multilingualism in educational contexts across the globe. With chapters written by TIRF Doctoral Dissertation Grant awardees and internationally known scholars, the volume addresses the challenges and pedagogies associated with moving away from the monolingual paradigm to support the development of culturally and linguistically diverse learners. Offering original research, new models, and pedagogies on teaching from over 17 different countries, this volume familiarizes readers with the latest advances in theory and practice and is a key text for language education programs and pre-service teachers.
