Description

Introducing Multilingualism: A Social Approach is a comprehensive and user-friendly introduction to the dynamic field of multilingualism. Adopting a social and critical approach, the authors guide readers through established theories, encouraging them to question dominant discourses on integration, heritage, and language testing. This second edition has been fully revised and updated, featuring new chapters on multilingualism in new media, the workplace, and the family, as well as topics such as language as a social construct, language contact and variation, and translanguaging. With engaging activities, quizzes, and a comprehensive selection of case studies from around the world, this book is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students new to studying multilingualism. By exploring key concepts and issues in multilingualism, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding language use and identity.
