Linguistic Landscapes and Educational Spaces Summary

Linguistic Landscapes and Educational Spaces by Edina Krompak

How do written and other signs shape our educational spaces and practices; and how, in turn, are these written and other signs shaped by the educational spaces and practices they inhabit? Building on enquiries into the linguistic landscapes of public spaces, this volume addresses these questions and thereby further advances the educational turn in linguistic and semiotic landscapes studies. Prompted by social changes associated with migration and superdiversity, as well as imperatives to promote pluri- and multilingualism, the studies collected here speak to the interest of researchers and practitioners in educational linguistics and educational sciences. They confirm the value of combining empirical analyses of linguistic and semiotic educationscapes with action research on mobilising linguistic landscapes as pedagogical resources to promote multilingual equality.

Linguistic Landscapes and Educational Spaces Reviews

This volume helps expand our understanding of the way language learning is always geosemiotically structured - sometimes hindering or closing off access, other times opening up powerful new opportunities. I applaud the editors for bringing together such a distinctive, diverse array of case studies. * Crispin Thurlow, University of Bern, Switzerland *
This exciting collection on 'educationscapes' expands the frontiers of research into 'schoolscapes' by examining Linguistic Landscapes of both formal and informal institutions. Transcending conventional boundaries of age, from pre-school children through to adult migrant learners, the chapters draw on data as diverse as blackboards, picture books, outdoor learning, and leaflets to highlight the potential for educationscapes to inform our understanding of our world. * Robert Blackwood, University of Liverpool, UK *

...an inspiring read for anybody interested in LL studies, as well as an enriching source for educators who have not yet incorporated the LL approach into their teaching...a highly solid contribution pointing to the integration of two fields: linguistics (mostly sociolinguistics and applied linguistics) and educational sciences....the volume enhances bridges between the two fields while emphasising cognitive and social aspects as highly interrelated concepts in language learning.

* Sanita Martena and Heiko F. Marten, Rezekne Academy of Technologies, Latvia, Sociolinguistic Studies, 16.4 2022 *

I strongly recommend this book to all educators. Among other aspects, this book will exemplify the relevance and importance of the myriad features of multimodality related to schoolscape and the linguistic landscape in education.

* Antoinette Camilleri Grima, University of Malta, Malta Review of Educational Research, Volume 16, No. 2. *
