Plurilingual Perspectives (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This collection offers unique insights into the landscape of language teacher education and language teaching in the culturally and linguistically diverse Oceanic region.

The volume explores the impact of political, linguistic, cultural, and ecological imperatives on language teacher education and language teaching in a region characterized by a long history of colonization and migration giving away to a varied but fragile plurilingualism. Chapters feature research studies of such pertinent issues as linguistically responsive pedagogies, curricula supporting plurilingualism, language policy, and the importance of perspectives from language teachers and other key stakeholders. In so doing, the collection offers a window into the challenges and opportunities of language teaching and language teacher education in the region, including around linguistic diversity, indigenous language revitalisation, and heritage language teaching. The volume brings together a range of perspectives on grappling with Oceania's complex history while finding ways forward for inclusive approaches to linguistic plurality.

This book will appeal to students and scholars interested in plurilingualism, multilingualism, language education, language teacher education, language policy and planning, applied linguistics, and Pacific studies.
