May (2013) and Conteh and Meier (forthcoming) argue that we are witnessing the ‘multilingual turn’ in languages education. And there is a call for multilingual TESOL. In this module you will have an opportunity to reflect on and study language hierarchies and status (politics of language) that we sometimes take for granted, evaluate multilingual approaches to teaching and learning (bi-/multilingual teaching methods) as a response to personal and societal multilingualism in globalised societies, and to what extent bi-/multilingual approaches can be applied in a classroom through mini lessons (application to practice). This is suitable for students who have an interest in international and multilingual educational settings
