About the Book

This book examines what ‘researching multilingually’ means in practice and theory. It is multinational and transnational in scope, including the voices of both experienced and emerging scholars who reflect on the process of conducting, analyzing and reporting multilingual research in various settings. Together the chapters address issues including theorizing multilingualism and collaborative research with multilingual scholars and research participants; navigating insider or outsider positioning with research participants; making and accepting language choices among researchers and participants during research; translating and interpreting multilingual data; and confronting policy challenges of multilingual research design and reporting in English-dominant contexts. The book ties these processes to existing theories of multilingualism in research and proposes new ways of understanding best practices while also wrestling with challenges and at times ‘failures’ in the research process.

Review :
This engaging volume offers new ways of theorizing research on, with and by multilingual speakers in multilingual contexts. It provides a rich collection of testimonies from younger and older scholars on how they have researched the teaching of English in a ‘multilingual’ manner in various parts of the world. Their honest and mature reflections raise interesting questions about the educational benefits and the political risks of researching multilingually. It is rare to see words like ‘failures’ and ‘struggles’ in a book title. Yet it is precisely for that reason that this book is so valuable. The editors and contributors have done a great service to the academic community by detailing their experiences of researching multilingually. There are many lessons for us all. The impact of these lessons will be felt for a very long time to come. Offering critical insights on challenges and opportunities associated with conducting research multilingually in a variety of international, disciplinary, and educational contexts, this timely edited volume exemplifies the multilingual turn and heteroglossic ideologies in applied linguistics. The contributors offer rich theoretical, empirical, and practical insights that will further advance multilingual research methods and reflexivity in our field.
