The Multilingual Turn by Stephen May
Drawing on the latest developments in bilingual and multilingual research, this volume offers a cutting edge, interdisciplinary critique of, and alternatives to, still-dominant monolingual theories, pedagogies and practices in SLA and TESOL.“This important contribution to educational linguistics… adds a much-needed social perspective to the theory of SLA, English language teaching, and bilingual educationIt takes a useful and needed step in moving beyond the monolingual and psycholinguistic biases of researchers in SLA and TESOL.”
Bernard Spolsky, Bar-Ilan University, Israel
"Boundary-breaking, with wonderful width as well as originality, this book is at the cutting edge. The star-studded list of chapter authors are THE experts in their fields of study.”
Colin Baker, Bangor University, UK
“The critical approach to SLA, TESOL, bi- and multilingual education raises much needed questions about the usefulness of subject-bounded approaches to second language teaching. The case for multidisciplinary frameworks is well-made.”
Naz Rassool, The University of Reading, UK
