Opis

With the impact of accelerated globalization, digital technologies, mobility and migration, the fields of applied linguistics, language and intercultural education have been shifting. One shift in need of further exploration is that of systematic and coherent reflexivity in researching language and culture. This unique and timely book thus examines the significance of reflexivity as an integral process, particularly when researching the multifaceted notions of multilingualism and interculturality in education.

Recenzje

"The collection of chapters is valuable particularly because it emphasises that reflexivity should be seen as a dynamic and evolving notion that is applicable to all those involved in research and pedagogy and that can be applied positively to equalise power relationships and lead to greater centrality and legitimacy of the research participant or learner." - John Kullman, School of Language Studies and Applied Linguistics, Canterbury Christ Church University, England
