Infos

This book brings together research on multilingualism, identity and intercultural understanding from a range of locations across the globe to explore the intersection of these key ideas in education. It addresses the need to better understand how multilingual, identity, and intercultural approaches intersect for multilingual learners in complex and varied settings. Through global examples, it explores how identities and multilingualism are situated within, and surrounding intercultural experiences. This book examines the different theoretical interpretations as encountered and used in different contexts. By doing so, it helps readers better understand how teachers approach multilingualism and diversity in a range of contexts.

Dr Ruth Fielding is a SENIOR LECTURER at Monash University, Australia, and her research focuses on multilingualism, language education and identity. Ruth began her career as a secondary school teacher of French and German, before undertaking a PhD which focused on multilingualism and identity negotiation. Ruth was awarded the Michael Clyne Prize for her thesis in 2010, jointly awarded by the Applied Linguistics Association of Australia (ALAA) and the Australian Linguistics Society (ALS). Ruth's research and professional work centers around a program of research which explores bilingual/multilingual identity, language teacher education, pedagogy and assessment in language learning and teaching, and intercultural approaches in languages education. Ruth's research program seeks to transform teaching and learning through shifting approaches to languages. She works with teachers to understand how identity and intercultural understanding are interwoven in language education. Her research also seeks to understand how education in super-diverse cities takes place to further develop education for diversity and inclusion.

She is also an advisor and consultant to educational organisations in Australia, advising on languages and multilingual issues.
