Language education policy and transnational and translingual social practices at schools. Commentary on the special issue

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: In this commentary, I will draw together some of the most interesting points from the diverse papers assembled in this special issue and bring them into conversation with current research on language education policy and practice. I will focus on three key ideas that emerged from the theories, methodologies and data presented: (1) the complex hierarchisation of languages in national educational policies, (2) language and multilingualism in neoliberalising schools, and (3) relations between language education policy and practice. In concluding, I will make suggestions on how to support teachers in implementing transnational and translingual practices.
