An Integrated Perspective on English and Languages Education in Australia

This book addresses how language is conceptualised in Australian schooling
to deliver a better understanding of how multilingualism can be incorporated
into everyday teaching and learning, practice, and policy.

By integrating different educational domains – namely, subject English,
teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL), Languages as a
subject area, and the learning of languages across the curriculum – the text
(re-)frames language(s) learning for all students, including first-generation
immigrants, international students, students born in Australia to immigrant
parents, Indigenous students, and students with no exposure to other languages at home. It
is distinctive in that it brings together scholars from across the L1 and L2
fields. Presenting a novel framework that addresses the positioning of both
language and opportunity across different domains at school, this book offers
a multilingual vision for all teachers. The Australian setting depicted serves as
a rich example for similar contexts worldwide.

This is an invaluable resource for students and academics in disciplines
related to language(s) and education, as well as teacher educators, school
leaders, and practitioners.
