[IRN] Deadline: Special Issue Call for Papers “Multilingualism in School”

The Journal of Research in Social Sciences and Language (JSSAL)

Multilingualism in schools is a perennial topic in educational research. It is highly relevant today for several reasons: increasing globalization and population mobility, high levels of international migration and refugee movements, quick and easy access for individuals to digital language support tools. All of these factors contribute to increasing linguistic diversity among students around the world, making multilingualism a key prerequisite for educational processes.

The aim of this special issue is to foster a deeper understanding of multilingualism in schools and to contribute to the advancement of inclusive and equitable educational practices, by bringing together current empirical research on multilingualism in education from interdisciplinary perspectives. We invite scholars from various fields, including but not limited to education, linguistics, psychology,
sociology and policy studies, to join us in this endeavor by submitting their original research contributions. We welcome submissions of empirical research articles that employ quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods approaches, thereby enriching the discourse on multilingualism in education with varied perspectives and methodologies.
