"[W]e can gain insights from the multifarious ways in which the authors of the articles collected in this volume have critically engaged with [the] complex issues in each of their diverse contexts. What unifies them is the commitment to a candid and critical discussion of how to serve students’ best interests amidst all these new competing policy discourses and institutional regimes."
--Angel M. Y. Lin, The University of Hong Kong
"Plurilingualism in teaching and learning’s greatest value lies in the range of voices and perspectives it presents, of different people enriching education through language diversity. [...] I highly commend this volume to you as a guide for your investigations into language diversity and how it best fits within your practice.
