Heritage speakers, characterized by early exposure to the target language at home, exhibit superior oral proficiency and heightened intercultural competence, although their metalinguistic and grammatical awareness may be less developed compared to L2 learners. Recognizing the theoretical and pedagogical complexities of engaging both types of learners simultaneously while maintaining a cohesive classroom community, this book provides valuable insights and practical strategies for teaching at various instructional levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters within this text explore a range of themes, including translanguaging, linguistic identity, metalinguistic awareness, and intercultural competence. Contributions from Europe, Africa, and the United States offer diverse perspectives and experiences, contributing to a rich and comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in mixed language classrooms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy presenting best practices, reproducible pedagogical initiatives, and methodologies, this book aims to empower educators to create inclusive and effective learning environments that foster the growth and development of all learners.
