Dominant Language Constellations Approach in Education and Language Acquisition (eBook, PDF)

This volume is a strong contribution to the work on dominant language constellations. Comprised primarily of clearly laid out empirical studies which show how the DLC approach can be used and useful for studies in educational linguistics, the volume is satisfying reading for scholars who are new to DLC and those already familiarly with this approach to understanding multilingualism.

Each chapter gives a very strong and insightful glance into individual and societal DLCs and picture of the absolutely overwhelming and alarming predominance of English in the world. The chapters deal with a broad variety of topics, institutions and users/learners, which gives the readers an excellent overview of current, ongoing research. DLC is a new concept alongside languages repertoires which opens up new questions and research areas which we have not seen before. Some of the chapters are very strong in their theoretical description and/or development, while others are very strong in their complex mixtures of methodologies that enable extremely detailed results
