New Book: English-Medium Instruction and Translanguaging (Multilingual Matters, 2021) 

 

Dear colleagues and friends, 

 

We are happy to announce the publication of our new volume, English-Medium Instruction and Translanguaging, published by Multilingual Matters. 

 

This book offers a critical exploration of definitions, methodologies and ideologies of English-medium instruction (EMI), contributing to new understandings of translanguaging as theory and pedagogy across diverse contexts. It brings together a number of conceptual and empirical studies on translanguaging in EMI at different educational levels, in a variety of countries, with different approaches to translanguaging, different named languages, and different policies. These studies include several underrepresented contexts across the globe, providing a broad view of how translanguaging in EMI is understood in these educational settings. Furthermore, this book addresses the complexities of translanguaging through a discussion of the affordances and constraints associated with the use of multiple linguistic resources in the EMI classroom. 

 

Multilingual Matters is currently offering 50% off pre-orders until January 31st, 2021 (use the code PTT50). 

 

Please feel free to contact us if you would like to know more about the book. 

 

With best wishes for a healthy 2021,
