Abstract
AbstractThis commentary begins with a brief overview of the shift in focus from language to speakers and their languaging in language awareness scholarship. I then discuss the connection between this shift and translanguaging, a burgeoning area of research in the education of multilingual students. Next, I provide brief overviews of each of the six papers in the special issue, focusing on the authors’ contributions to CMLA research. I end with some points of discussion that the issue as a whole raises regarding future directions of CMLA research and its applications to teaching and teacher education.Keywords: Critical language awarenesstranslanguagingteacher educationteaching Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
期刊介绍:
Language Awareness encourages and disseminates work which explores the following: the role of explicit knowledge about language in the process of language learning; the role that such explicit knowledge about language plays in language teaching and how such knowledge can best be mediated by teachers; the role of explicit knowledge about language in language use: e.g. sensitivity to bias in language, manipulative aspects of language, literary use of language. It is also a goal of Language Awareness to encourage the establishment of bridges between the language sciences and other disciplines within or outside educational contexts.
