About this ebook

This volume examines issues of bilingualism and multilingualism. The research reported addresses second (L2), third (L3) and heritage language acquisition, including multiliteracy and home language development. It also touches on issues relating to language teaching methodology, education, and language policy. Through the lens of critical analysis, the authors seek to investigate new approaches to bi/multilingualism, language learning and teaching, theoretical models, research methodology, and application of language acquisition theories in teaching. The contributions provide frameworks for understanding multilingualism based on diverse topics and analyses. These chapters cover key concepts, discuss previous research, and present studies from different geographical regions and languages. They also provide critical reviews and analyses, report novel projects, and offer personal reflections. This book is ideal for students of applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, language acquisition and education. It will also be of use for practitioners, teachers, parents, and researchers wishing to update their knowledge in multilingualism at large, language learning, and language teaching.
