This comprehensive book delves into multilingual practices, including translanguaging, code-switching, and stylization, in secondary classrooms in Hawaii. Through the lens of linguistic ethnography, it explores how students in a linguistically diverse class, including those who speak less commonly taught languages, navigate learning tasks and engage in the social life of the class when utilizing these languages alongside English as a lingua franca. The book discusses the implications for teachers, covering areas such as lesson planning, instruction, and classroom management. It emphasizes the importance of balancing student needs while recognizing that the language use of one individual or group can create challenges for understanding, participation, or identity positioning for others.

The book argues that students should be allowed to flex their entire language repertoires to learn and communicate, while also being aware of how to bridge differences in individual repertoires. It provides valuable suggestions for teachers to consider within their own contexts, emphasizing the need for teacher autonomy to cultivate critical language awareness and create conducive environments for learning. This book is of interest to postgraduate students, researchers, and academics specializing in sociolinguistics and linguistic ethnography, as well as pre-service and in-service teachers working in linguistically diverse secondary school contexts.
