Routledge Handbook of Plurilingual Language Education

<p><i>The Routledge Handbook of Plurilingual Language Education </i>is the first comprehensive publication on plurilingualism, offering a multidimensional reflection on the nature, scope, and potential of plurilingualism in language education and society. </p><p>Authored by a range of internationally recognized experts, the <i>Handbook </i>provides an overview of key perspectives on plurilingualism in a complementary range of fields. After a comprehensive introduction to the concept itself, 24 chapters are organized in six parts, each examining plurilingualism through a different lens. The <i>Handbook </i>spans historical, philosophical, and sociological dimensions, examines cognitive and neuroscientific implications, and the limitations of boundaries before moving to a pragmatic perspective: How is plurilingual language education developing in different contexts around the world? How can it contribute to language revitalization? How can it be expected to develop in education, digital spaces, and society as a whole?</p><p>Written for an international audience, this handbook is an indispensable reference tool for scholars in education and applied linguistics, educators, graduate and post-graduate students, and policy makers.</p> <p>List of Contributors </p><p>Acknowledgements </p><p>An Introduction to Plurilingualism and This Handbook </p><p>Enrica Piccardo, Aline Germain-Rutherford, and Geoff Lawrence</p><p>Summaries of Chapters in the Handbook </p><p>PART I</p><p>Historical Perspectives on Plurilingualism </p><p>Edited by Brian North</p><p>1 Promoting Plurilingualism and Plurilingual Education: A European Perspective </p><p>Georges Lüdi</p><p>2 Plurilingualism and the Tangled Web of Lingualisms </p><p>Steve Marshall</p><p>3 The Mediated Nature of Plurilingualism </p><p>Enrica Piccardo</p><p>4 Cosmopolitanism and Plurilingual Traditions: Learning from South Asian and Southern African Practices of Intercultural Communication </p><p>Shakil Rabbi and Suresh Canagarajah</p><p>Part I: Critical Friend Response </p><p>Danièle Moore</p><p>PART II</p><p>Sociological and Philosophical Perspectives </p><p>Edited by Brian Morgan and Ian Martin</p><p>5 Language, Languaging, Plurilanguaging: Considerations on the Nature of Language and Language Education </p><p>Waldemar Martyniuk</p><p>6 Evaluating Theoretical Constructs Underlying Plurilingual Pedagogies: The Role of Teachers as Knowledge-Generators and Agents of Language Policy </p><p>Jim Cummins</p><p>7 Latin American Postcolonial Approaches to Plurilingualism: The Mexican Experience </p><p>Colette Despagne</p><p>8 Linguistic Hybridity and Global Mobility </p><p>Stephen Bahry</p><p>Part II: Critical Friend Response </p><p>Bonny Norton</p><p>PART III</p><p>The Plurilingual Individual: Cognition and Socialization </p><p>Edited by Claudia Maria Riehl</p><p>9 Neuroscience and Plurilingual Education: Trends for a Research Agenda </p><p>Claudia Maria Riehl</p><p>10 The Cognitive and Psychological Dimensions of Plurilingualism </p><p>Thomas H.
