About this book

The volume offers a collection of the most recent research coming from scholars and practitioners in the field of multilingualism research in various contexts of natural/immersion environments, school/formal instruction, grounded in multilingual societies and individual multilinguality of semi-monolingual countries. The studies included in the book constitute an exemplification of new methods of research used (e.g., narratives, visualizations, metaphors) as well as new approaches to multilingualism (affordances, dominant language constellations). The volume is divided into four parts:
Part One focuses on different dimensions of multilingualism,
Part Two zooms in on the concept of affordances and their role in the development of multilingual competence,
Part Three concentrates on dominant language constellations in different contexts and, finally,
Part Four shifts the focus to instructional practices in teaching multiple languages.

Eva Vetter is an applied linguist and has been a Professor of Language Teaching and Learning Research at the University of Vienna, Austria, since 2011. She was previously a teacher of French and geography. Her research addresses the relationship between language and power and she is interested in the multiple facets of societal and individual multilingualism. She researches topics such as language policy, heteroglossic language use, minoritized languages or political and public discourses of inclusion and exclusion. Since 2010 she has been focussing more on educational aspects of multilingualism, i.e. language education policy and multilingual approaches to teaching. She sees her academic work as a contribution to peaceful coexistence in a sustainable society.
