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…

Alastair Henry; Cecilia Thorsen; Peter D. MacIntyre – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
In many contexts of multilingualism, language learners can initiate communication in the target language (TL), or a contact language (such as English). Patterns of use emerging from these choices vary between individuals and affect TL development. Willingness to communicate (WTC) needs to be investigated in ways that capture these variations. So…

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.

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…

Vázquez-Fernández, Martín – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2022
A critical approach to "neofalante," newspeakers of Galician and their theoretical framework, is presented.

This is the first large-scale study of resources as a form of "language management" -- that is, a way of influencing children's language practices. We introduce the distinction between child-directed resources (i.e. those providing parents with opportunities to engage with their children in the languages they are transmitting) and…

This longitudinal case study looked beyond content…

Zhibin Shan; Hao Xu – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Despite much research on how multilingual learners view the linguistic properties of language, how they perceive languages as cultural capital has been far less investigated.
