Inhaltsangabe

The authoritative reference work on Translanguaging, one of the most dynamic and fast-growing areas of research in modern linguistics

Translanguaging has transformed how we understand language, bilingualism, and education, challenging conventional views and reshaping theory, policy, and practice. The Handbook of Translanguaging is the most comprehensive resource available, bringing together leading scholars from diverse disciplines and global perspectives to explore the theoretical foundations, educational applications, and interdisciplinary connections of this dynamic concept.

Organized into three sections, the Handbook clarifies the conceptual and historical underpinnings of translanguaging, examines the role of translanguaging in education, and explores its intersections with digital communication, gender, media studies, and social justice. Detailed chapters consolidate existing research and set the stage for future inquiry, offering the depth and breadth needed to navigate and contribute to this rapidly evolving field. Integrating theoretical, methodological, and applied perspectives, The Handbook of Translanguaging:

• Features contributions from leading scholars and emerging voices from around the world, particularly from the Global South
• Addresses key theoretical perspectives, such as raciolinguistics, decoloniality, and bilingual cognition
• Examines the role of translanguaging bilingual education, language policy, Indigenous language education, literacy development, and assessment
• Discusses methodological challenges and ethical considerations in translanguaging research
• Highlights translanguaging's role in resistance, social justice, and transformative praxis

Edited by a team of internationally recognized experts, The Handbook of Translanguaging is an invaluable reference for researchers, educators, and policymakers engaged in bilingualism, multilingual education, and language studies. It is also an essential text for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in applied linguistics, bilingual education, sociolinguistics, and language policy.
