THE CHANGING FACE OF THE NATIVE SPEAKER KARTONI...

The notion of the native speaker and its undertones of ultimate language competence  language
ownership and social status has been problematized by various researchers  arguing that the
ensuing monolingual norms and assumptions are flawed or inequitable in a global super-diverse
world. However  such norms are still ubiquitous in educational  institutional and social
settings  in political structures and in research paradigms. This collection offers voices from
various contexts and corners of the world and further challenges the native speaker construct
adopting poststructuralist and postcolonial perspectives. It includes conceptual 
methodological  educational and practice-oriented contributions. Topics span language
minorities  intercomprehension  plurilingualism and pluriculturalism  translanguaging  teacher
education  new speakers  language background profiling  heritage languages  and learner
identity  among others. Collectively  the authors paint the portrait of the changing face of
the native speaker while also strengthening a new global agenda in multilingualism and social
justice. These diverse and interconnected contributions are meant to inspire researchers 
university students  educators  policy makers and beyond.
