The authoritative reference work on Translanguaging, one of the most dynamic and fast-growing areas of research in modern linguistics Translanguaging has transformed how we understand language, bilingualism, and education, challenging conventional views and reshaping theory, policy, and practice. The Handbook of Translanguaging is the most comprehensive resource available, bringing together leading scholars from diverse disciplines and global perspectives to explore the theoretical foundations, educational applications, and interdisciplinary connections of this dynamic concept. Organized into three sections, the Handbook clarifies the conceptual and historical underpinnings of translanguaging, examines the role of translanguaging in education, and explores its intersections with digital communication, gender, media studies, and social justice. Detailed chapters consolidate existing research and set the stage for future inquiry, offering the depth and breadth needed to navigate and contribute to this rapidly evolving field. Integrating theoretical, methodological, and applied perspectives, The Handbook of Translanguaging: Features contributions from leading scholars and emerging voices from around the world, particularly from the Global South Addresses key theoretical perspectives, such as raciolinguistics, decoloniality, and bilingual cognition Examines the role of translanguaging bilingual education, language policy, Indigenous language education, literacy development, and assessment Discusses methodological challenges and ethical considerations in translanguaging research Highlights translanguaging's role in resistance, social justice, and transformative praxis Edited by a team of internationally recognized experts, The Handbook of Translanguaging is an invaluable reference for researchers, educators, and policymakers engaged in bilingualism, multilingual education, and language studies.

Engaged Language Policy and Practices re-envisions language policy and planning as an engaged approach, drawing on and portraying theoretical and educational equity perspectives. It calls for the right to language policy-making in which all concerned—communities, parents, students, educators, and advocates—collectively imagine new strategies for resisting global neoliberal marginalization of home languages and cultural identities. This book subsequently emphasizes the means by which engaged dialectic processes can inform and clarify language policy-making decisions that promote equity. In other words, rather than descriptions of outcomes, the authors emphasize the need to detail the means by which local/regional actors resist and transform inequitable policies. These descriptions of processes thereby provide all actors with ideological, pedagogical, and equity policy tools that can inform situated school and community policy-making. This book depicts ways in which engaged language policy embodies the intersection of critical inquiry, participant involvement, and ongoing engaged language planning processes. It further offers an alternative to the traditional top-down approach to language education policy-making. Engaged Language Policy and Practices is essential reading for scholars, teachers, students, communities, and others concerned with worldwide language and identity equity.
