Reviews
Kalaja and Melo-Pfeifer reconstruct multilingual lives and multilingual teachers’ beliefs in ways that are inclusive of diverse experiences and modes of expression. The multi-storied visualization in this book fills the narrative holes and exclusions that have been created by a conception of the linguistic repertoire as purely spoken/written. This book advances not only the study of multilingualism, but also how ways of researching it is a matter of social justice. * Ofelia García, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, USA * Reading this edited volume by Kalaja and Melo-Pfeifer is like entering an Alice-in-Wonderland fantasy world of how multilingualism can be lived and envisioned in various language classrooms around the world and across educational levels. Through the looking glass we see lived multilingualism via an amazing range of visual methodologies, from drawings and pictures to digital and three-dimensional visualizations. * Joana Duarte, University of Groningen, The Netherlands *
