This chapter argues for a reconceptualization of language education
where linguistically responsive teaching and learning cut across disciplines,
language barriers, and educational models. Societies in the 21st
century have experienced an unprecedented influx of people from diverse
cultural and linguistic backgrounds as a result of globalization. In view
of these developments, policy makers, educational professionals, and
university researchers are obliged to re-examine the monolingual view of
education and create language- and identity-safe equitable learning
spaces. This chapter offers a concrete framework for demonolingualizing
education in order to mainstream multilingualism in education and thus
acknowledge and value learners’ multilingual voices.
