"This cutting-edge volume explores holistic trends in multilingualism, analysing the processes of both 'becoming multilingual' and 'being multilingual'. Multilingualism has increased in recent years due to globalisation, transnational mobility and the spread of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Multilingual education explores some of the trends in the study of multilingual education by putting together research studies that focus on the use of different languages in the classroom, with particular emphasis on the interaction between the languages. Provides a set of up-to-date accounts of current developments in the field of multilingualism studies, with particular reference to language education; Presents up-to-date research and a new way of approaching language teaching; Includes research-based discussions on language learning and translanguaging in educational contexts."
