This book presents case studies of five schools engaged in radical change in order to engage
with children's home languages and cultures in a more multilingual and inclusive way. Located
around the globe from Hawaii to Kenya the case studies are informed by both researchers and
professionals on the ground. While the schools in question are each anchored in a unique
context and situation they also have a common mission to see language diversity as a resource
and a responsibility to embrace all the languages of their pupils. The authors offer a rich
resource for education professionals and policymakers including not only theoretical insights
but useful practical tips. This innovative volume will be a helpful resource for educational
professionals interested in following a path of multilingualism as well as students and
scholars of second language acquisition heritage languages and cultures and multilingual
educational policy.
