Leveraging Multilingualism to Support Student Agency: A Review of Academic Languaging by Gisela Ernst‐Slavit & Margo Gottlieb

Academic Languaging treats the language abilities possessed by school‐age multilingual learners as a set of skills to be developed. This reflects a recognition of the benefits of leveraging students' cultural and linguistic resources to ensure access to rigorous instruction and grade level content. This timely text details how to incorporate translanguaging and multimodal strategies to augment school teaching where English is the language of instruction. With a fresh perspective on current conceptual foundations of language development, this book is a resource for teachers who work with multilingual learners and are searching for strategies to integrate into their current classroom practice.
