About the Book

How do written and other signs shape our educational spaces and practices; and how, in turn, are these written and other signs shaped by the educational spaces and practices they inhabit? Building on enquiries into the linguistic landscapes of public spaces, this volume addresses these questions and thereby further advances the educational turn in linguistic and semiotic landscapes studies. Prompted by social changes associated with migration and superdiversity, as well as imperatives to promote pluri- and multilingualism, the studies collected here speak to the interest of researchers and practitioners in educational linguistics and educational sciences. They confirm the value of combining empirical analyses of linguistic and semiotic educationscapes with action research on mobilising linguistic landscapes as pedagogical resources to promote multilingual equality.

Review :
This volume helps expand our understanding of the way language learning is always geosemiotically structured – sometimes hindering or closing off access, other times opening up powerful new opportunities. I applaud the editors for bringing together such a distinctive, diverse array of case studies. This exciting collection on ‘educationscapes’ expands the frontiers of research into ‘schoolscapes’ by examining Linguistic Landscapes of both formal and informal institutions. Transcending conventional boundaries of age, from pre-school children through to adult migrant learners, the chapters draw on data as diverse as blackboards, picture books, outdoor learning, and leaflets to highlight the potential for educationscapes to inform our understanding of our world. Linguistic Landscapes and Educational Spaces constituye un aporte significativo al espacio investigativo de los paisajes lingüísticos, escolares y educativos. Como señalan Durk Gorter y Jasone Cenoz, las distintas perspectivas sobre la formulación de los paisajes permite el análisis del espacio desde sus aspectos físicos, o desde su potencial capacidad para reproducir ideologías y normas lingüísticas. A la vez, algunos estudios han incluido metodologías participativas que ayudan a recrear los paisajes desde la visión de los propios actores de las localidades estudiadas. Todos estos esfuerzos logran construir un espacio investigativo interdisciplinario que une no solo las herramientas de la sociolingüística y la lingüística aplicada, sino que también tiene repercusiones y empleos en áreas tales cómo la educación, la alfabetización, y el análisis crítico del discurso. Linguistic Landscapes and Educational Spaces is a rich and rewarding volume that consolidates schoolscapes/educationscapes as a productive and theoretically as well as socially relevant stream within current LL studies. While other recent publications mainly focus on the pedagogic dimension, this book is perhaps the first to present a balanced overview of both relevant areas, i.e. empirical fieldwork on signs in school spaces (Part I) and analyses of pedagogical activities that involve the LL (Part 2). The chapters offer a wide range of theoretical approaches and excellent examples of mixed methods research designs. Overall, the volume leaves the reader craving for more research on the semiotic landscape of educational institutions, more ideas for pedagogical projects, and active collaborations with institutions to ensure the research results benefit schools, students, teachers, and parents. ...the whole edited volume is placed perfectly in the discourse and development of linguistic landscape research, both by reflecting on the field’s tradition and history, and pointing out important and promising topics for the future analysis of linguistic and semiotic spaces in education. ...an inspiring read for anybody interested in LL studies, as well as an enriching source for educators who have not yet incorporated the LL approach into their teaching...a highly solid contribution pointing to the integration of two fields: linguistics (mostly sociolinguistics and applied linguistics) and educational sciences....the volume enhances bridges between the two fields while emphasising cognitive and social aspects as highly interrelated concepts in language learning. I strongly recommend this book to all educators. Among other aspects, this book will exemplify the relevance and importance of the myriad features of multimodality related to schoolscape and the linguistic landscape in education. ...a welcome contribution to the expanding scenery of research on language and education, on the linguistic landscape in general, and on the linguistic landscape in education in particular. The editors have taken care to cover two especially relevant areas in education: the linguistic and semiotic landscapes of educational spaces and the linguistic landscape as a pedagogical resource. Together, the chapters form a showcase proving the extent and the value of linguistic landscapes (LL) in education, from the early years through to university, both inside and outside educational institutions.
