“This book constitutes a challenge to traditional and established
ways of understanding education in our increasingly diverse and
globalized world. For researchers in the field of bilingualism and
multilingualism the book attempts to describe and provide support
for a term that goes beyond the description of multilingual
language practices. Monolingual ideological stances strongly affect
how many applied linguists and sociolinguists discuss bilingualism
and multilingualism. This book is an absolute must-read for those
who seek to adopt a more critical perspective.” (Melissa Moyer,
Journal of Sociolinguistics, Vol. 20, 2016)"Ofelia García and Li
Wei have just managed to write the book that will definitely
inscribe the concept of 'translanguaging' in the heuristic
landscape of Language Education." -Language and Intercultural
Communication
"Garcia and Wei effectively argue that translanguaging is clearly a
process that advocates for polymorphus language learners andis
indeed worth serious consideration in our current educational
system.' - Hispania
