Reflecting Lingualities and Positionalities for a Changing Education System

Year: 2020

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: To improve teacher education for multilingual and often minoritized classrooms, we aim to find out more about future teachers’ understandings of multilingualism. Using a biographical professionalization research approach, we investigate the interactions of students’ biographical and academic knowledge in autobiographical texts, focusing on two minoritized students. Their texts allow to reconstruct biographical knowledge of family language policies, Heritage Language Instruction and translingual lifeworlds. They also show the students’ knowledge of language ideologies that devalue multilingualism.
