FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book explores multilingual practices such as translanguaging, code-switching and stylization in secondary classrooms in Hawaii. Using linguistic ethnography, it investigates how students in a linguistically diverse class, including those who speak less commonly taught languages, deal with learning tasks and the social life of the class when using these languages alongside English as a lingua franca. It discusses implications for teachers, from balancing student needs in lesson planning and instruction to classroom management, where the language use of one individual or group can create challenges of understanding, participation or deficit identity positionings for another. The book argues that students must not only be allowed to flex their whole language repertoires to learn and communicate but also be aware of how to build bridges across differences in individual repertoires. It offers suggestions for teachers to consider within their own contexts, highlighting the need for teacher autonomy to cultivate the classroom communitys critical language awareness and create conducive environments for learning. This book will appeal to postgraduate students, researchers and academics working in the fields of sociolinguistics and linguistic ethnography as well as pre-service and in-service teachers in linguistically diverse secondary school contexts. Author Biography Anna Mendoza is Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA.

It offers insights into how classroom translanguaging could be framed: with, as Mendoza puts it, attention to equity, criticality, and safety for all students. * Kate Seltzer, Rowan University, USA *Anna Mendozas book is an invitation not only to languaging but to translanguaging in a world of responsibility in the search for total well-being [...] This book sends a powerful message about the benefits, challenges and possibilities of classroom practices to foster the promotion of funds of knowledges, especially for marginalized communities with an immigrant or refugee background. * Yecid Ortega, Queens University Belfast, UK, Language and Education, 2024 *Mendozas book does not disappear in the ocean of research literature or simply add to it. Instead, it stands out by bringing fresh theoretical and classroom-grounded insights on the ways high school students in Hawaii engage in various forms of translanguaging for identity positioning, thus creating and maintaining a complex and dynamic classroom ecology [...] In the end, this book, this impressive piece of research, is about and for student and teacher empowerment. As Mendoza concludes, the success of linguistically and culturally inclusive classrooms rests in "in the critical educators hands". * Marina Prilutskaya, NORD University, Norway, System 125, 2024 * Promotional Explores translanguaging with speakers of less commonly taught languages in mainstream US schools Review Quote This book delivers a powerful message about the benefits and challenges of classroom multilingualism, based on the Hawaiian concept of Ha, with an eye toward ensuring that all students strengths are considered to create and sustain a caring multilingual classroom community.
