Rezensionen
"For teachers new to English language teaching, it offers a historical foundation for understanding the current practices and trends. For veteran teachers, it provides a recollection of times experienced and current practices, and ways forward for the future. For educators in contexts that find a need for an English-only approach, it offers insight into how the field of TESOL has evolved and where it is currently directed. The text is comprehensive and there is something for all TESOL educators." (Liza E. Martinez and Kara Mac Donald, CATESOL, catesol.org, December 27, 2022)

It will be of interest to scholars and policymakers in TESOL education, emerging scholars, and educators engaged in promoting flexible multilingualism in the classroom." (Xinyue Lu, TESL Canada Journal, Vol. 38 (2), 2022)

"The major, noticeable, strength of this volume is the quality of its contributions, underpinned as they are by rigorous methodology and thoughtful critique. In addition, the wide range of educational, socioeconomic, and geopolitical contexts in which translanguagingpedagogy is exemplified in this volume serves to underpin its theoretical credibility and adds to a growing body of evidence to support multilingual education." (Emma Brooks, ELT journal, Vol. 76 (1), January, 2022)

"Among the strengths of the book is that it achieves its goal and offers valuable theoretical and practical insights to TESOL professionals, and creates the necessary tension for their ideological shift. The described and theorized multifaceted translanguaging lens can be used as a theoretical framework, and the various research designs in the chapters can guide translanguaging researchers in their inquiries. ... Overall, the book provides valuable information on the theory and practice of translanguaging in the terrains of TESOL."

Teacher educators, researchers, graduate students, professionals, and practitioners interested in learning about translanguaging and its promise and challenges in TESOL education would appreciate the insights this book can provide." (Woongsik Choi, Journal of Language, Identity & Education, September 8, 2021)
"This volume is the first of its kind to apply a translanguaging lens to TESOL. ...

It is a timely addition and a valuable contribution to the growing literature on translanguaging, 'as a theoretical framework for informing TESOL, an orientation for teacher education, and a pedagogical tool in the classroom' ... ." ( Xin Li, International Journal of Multilingualism, July 1, 2021)
"The diversity of studies, contexts, participants, and methods allows for a fuller understanding for researchers and educators of how a translanguaging lens fits into TESOL research, educator programs, and the classroom. ... Although the contributors all faced complex challenges surrounding translanguaging, they all remain committed to its potential to critically address English hegemony, learner agency, and a more inclusive and theoretically sound TESOL." (Kimberly S. Hansen, tesol Quarterly, Vol. 55 (2), June, 2021)
