This is the first book dedicated exclusively to presenting the current state of scholarship on multilingual development and language use among adolescents. Drawing upon the fast-growing interdisciplinary field of youth studies, the book provides a detailed examination of the linguistic, cognitive, and literacy development of multilingual teenagers in home, school, community, and global contexts.
Building on Bourdieu's theory of practice, this book explores the key role of multilingual development and particularly the role of learning English in unequal secondary schooling access and outcomes. The book identifies gaps in our knowledge and areas for further research and points out major implications for language educators working with adolescents.
