About this title

Synopsis

Situated on the cutting edge of theory and classroom practice, this volume highlights transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research in language education and other disciplines and epistemological spaces. The authors provide insights from language education and its potential to connect with a broad range of disciplinary traditions that include medicine, literature, fine arts, mathematics, and more. This forward-looking text addresses contemporary themes of social justice, intercultural citizenship, and antiracism throughout. Chapters provide educational research examples that can be applied in innovative ways to extend beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. Language applications included are ESOL, Spanish, German, and Russian, with implications for both commonly and less commonly taught languages. Novice and experienced educators alike will benefit from the rigorous discussion of practice and contemporary theoretical issues.

Book Features:

• Represents a range of research methods and practical approaches that integrate language acquisition with academic content.
• Shows best practices for conducting transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research and how it can enrich language education as a whole.
• Addresses contemporary topics such as language policy, STEM education, integrative teaching, content area education, arts integration, and White supremacy culture.
• Offers creative and collaborative approaches for reaching beyond the ordinary conventions of TESOL and foreign/world language education.
