Description
With the impact of accelerated globalization, digital technologies, mobility, and migration, the fields of Applied Linguistics, Language, and Intercultural Education have been shifting. One shift in need of further exploration is that of systematic and coherent reflexivity in researching language and culture. This unique and timely book thus examines the significance of reflexivity as an integral process, particularly when researching the multifaceted notions of multilingualism and interculturality in education. It also contributes to current critical approaches to representations of languages and cultures in identity politics. As such, the authors offer innovative ways of engaging with reflexivity in teaching, learning, and research through multimodal and complex ways. The chapters span a diverse range of educational settings in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America.

Reviews
"The collection of chapters is valuable particularly because it emphasises that reflexivity should be seen as a dynamic and evolving notion that is applicable to all those involved in research and pedagogy and that can be applied positively to equalise power relationships and lead to greater centrality and legitimacy of the research participant or learner." - John Kullman, School of Language Studies and Applied Linguistics, Canterbury Christ Church University, England
