Reviews

This book is a valuable record of children acquiring two languages, English and Korean. Readers are given an insight into children’s language development in the context of the ecological system of communities and cultures, communicating with their parents, siblings, grandparents, nannies and peers. The author’s 'mother’s gaze' will be of great help not only to academics but also to parents who raise their children in multiple languages. * Naya Choi, Seoul National University, South Korea * Kiaer provides an extremely rare and valuable insight into how multilingual families interact using multimodal, non-verbal expressions. The book explains why it is critical to foster more caring, nurturing and accepting translanguaging cultures at home, in schools, in our communities and throughout society. It is a must-read for teachers, scholars and teacher educators seeking ideas for cultivating translanguaging competence through ongoing co-learning among children, parents, teachers and technology. * Ju Seong Lee, The Education University of Hong Kong * The monograph takes multilingual children’s language development research to a new level. It integrates the latest conceptual perspectives of translanguaging and multimodality and foregrounds the often forgotten role of family, emotion, sibling and culture in language learning by children growing up in a transnational family. It is written with passion and dedication. It will be a must-read for anyone interested in language development of multilingual children. * Zhu Hua, IOE, University College London, UK *
