Multilingual Leadership in TESOL addresses issues related to leadership by and for multilingual individuals in the field.

Presenting a wide view of leadership development in the field, this book includes contributions from top scholars from over a dozen countries, ethnicities and language backgrounds.

Bringing together the dual focus on multilingualism and leadership, this is essential reading for scholars, researchers and future leaders in TESOL and applied linguistics.
