Rui Yuan; Xuyan Qiu; Chuang Wang; Tiefu Zhang – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2025
Informed by a mixed methods research design, the study investigates the interrelations between students' attitudes toward English learning, English-medium instruction (EMI), and the use of their first language (i.e. code-switching) in relation to a range of biographic and contextual factors in their situated EMI programmes. The quantitative…

Lara-Stephanie Krause-Alzaidi – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
The practices of sorting things out and bringing things together, which I summarise under the term relanguaging, sit between fluid, situated languaging practices and the administrative standard grid in education that relies on bounded, named languages. Relanguaging, I argue, was invisible to socio- and applied linguists' analytical vision because…

Tracey Costley; Nancy Kula; Lutz Marten – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
Zambia is home to a complex set of language practices, which involve languages being used in different ways across social contexts. Historically written communication has typically been associated with English with African languages mainly associated with used spoken contexts. Recently, however, there has been a shift in this pattern with African…

Martin J. Koch; Werner Greve; Kristin Kersten – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2025
Research suggests that heterogeneous life experiences (e.g. multilingualism) might facilitate the development of mental flexibility. The current paper presents the conceptual replication of a study originally presented by Greve and colleagues [Greve, W., Koch, M., Rasche, V., and Kersten, K. (2021). Extending the Scope of the 'Cognitive Advantage'…

Polo-Pérez, Nuria; Holmes, Prue – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
This article explores the affordances of translanguaging as methodology by reflecting upon the role of the multilingual repertoires of research participants (including the researcher) in shaping an ethnographic inquiry on 'language cafés' (LCs), understood as public events which provide a non-formal learning space for (foreign) language…

Xiao Zhang; Christiane Lütge; Lili Zou – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Although there is a body of research on the teacher first language (L1) use in English-medium-instruction (EMI) classrooms, very little research has probed into how international students perceive local teacher L1 use and their learning practices in the English as a lingua franca (ELF) context. To address the gap, the present case study explored a…

Yuerong Jing; E. Dimitris Kitis – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
While translanguaging has been adequately researched in various educational sectors, there is scant research at the primary-level English-L2 classroom in the Chinese educational context. Within a monolingual English-only immersion policy favoured by the state in China for many decades now, translanguaging has been a debated issue recently. Within…

Reni Kusumaningputri – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Despite the existence of many studies on the identity of language learners in the offline settings, few focus on how English language learners in the expanding circle construct their identity through their use of English and their choices over their first language capital as they enjoy variations of multilinguacultural exposes in the digital…

The main focus of the article is on teachers' classroom language practices in eight primary schools in Oshana and Khomas school regions.

This study reviews 105 articles concerning English-as-a-medium-of-instruction (EMI) taken from the Web of Science database (2005-2021). The growth trajectory, the productivity, co-citation analysis, and bibliographic coupling were performed to present the procedural change, the 'hotspot' themes, influential publications, authors, countries,…

Jasmin Decristan; Victoria Bertram; Valentina Reitenbach; Katharina Maria Schneider; Carmen Köhler; Dominique Patricia Rauch – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
One shared goal of classroom instruction is to support students' reading competence as a key skill of school success and participation in daily life. Yet, teaching that addresses multilingual students' language-related resources to support reading is rare. In this study, we enriched reciprocal teaching with elements of linguistically responsive…

Giles, Jonathan – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2022
Colonialism and displacement have not only led to the migration of millions of Irish people and the endangerment of the Irish language, but also to a subjectivity in which it is possible to struggle against the risk of language loss. This paper explores the importance of sharing stories and information about family at second-language Irish…

Jinsook Choi – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
This paper explores the ways in which apology functions as a stance act at public speech events. Rather than focusing on speakers' intentions, in this study I pay attention to indexical meanings associated with apologies in a specific context. The study primarily analyses apology sequences that involve code-switching, which were drawn from…

Rolland, Louise – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2023
When conducting interviews with multilinguals, researchers make (often invisible) decisions about the interview language(s). Whilst the research design may require a particular approach in some cases, linguists generally recommend giving participants a choice or interviewing them in their first language. There are ethical and methodological…
