The growing mobility of people worldwide has underscored the urgent need to cultivate evidence-based teaching practices that yield high-quality education that caters to the diverse needs of inclusive societies and promotes social and epistemic justice. This comprehensive book offers a rich tapestry of cutting-edge qualitative case-study research across various educational contexts, insightful research-method contributions, and theory-oriented chapters penned by esteemed multilingual education scholars. These chapters provide a comprehensive overview of the field of translanguaging in relation to the education of multilingual individuals in the globalized world of today. Notably, the volume pioneers a unique focus on teachers as "knowledge generators," with many chapters also delving into the realm of teacher-researcher collaboration. Collectively, the chapters offer a thorough and up-to-date application of the concept of pedagogical translanguaging, while also presenting recent research in educational contexts that have hitherto received limited attention, such as secondary-level education, education for adult immigrants, and the widespread implementation of pedagogical translanguaging in primary schools.
