Multilingual Approach to Diversity in Education (MADE‪)‬

“For language educators who have wondered how to incorporate the theoretical insights of the multilingual turn into instruction, help is here! In this volume, Krulatz and Christison set out their model, MADE, which shows how a multilingual perspective can be incorporated into diverse classrooms, curriculum design, materials development, and teacher preparation.”  

Donna Christian, Senior Fellow, Center for Applied Linguistics, USA 

“This book is exactly what teachers working with linguistically and culturally diverse students have been waiting for: a resource grounded in the latest scientific literature that explains how to teach and manage multilingual classrooms. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in translating theories on multilingualism into practical classroom applications.” 

Gessica De Angelis, Associate Professor, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway 

“This volume challenges practitioners in the field of language teaching and learning to consider multilingualism in a classroom as the norm, rather than an exception. In acknowledging the complexity of multilingual learners’ linguistic repertoires, the authors support educators in implementing pedagogical approaches that center multilingualism in practical ways.” 

Kristen Lindahl, Associate Professor, University of Texas, USA
This book introduces the Multilingual Approach to Diversity in Education (MADE), a framework that provides an extensive, holistic instrument with research-based teacher indicators for teachers, teacher educators, and administrators to deliver optimal education to multilingual learners in a range of contexts. The authors introduce and provide a theoretical and research-based rationale for the MADE, presenting in turn each of its seven indicators, situating them within current research and theory in multilingualism and education, and providing specific examples of classroom applications. This book will be of interest to academics, teacher educators, pre-service and practicing teachers, and graduate students interested in teaching and researching multilingual learners.
