«This collection makes a useful contribution to the growing research base on teacher education for multilingual learners in linguistically diverse contexts. The international scope of the volume allows for richer – and more historically informed – definitions of multilingualism, and provides insightful comparative analysis of how teacher-education policies and curricula interact in shaping the preparation of future teachers to support multilingual learners.»

This book is a long awaited deeper look into the ways teacher education responds to the multilingual reality of today's classrooms. The selection of countries elucidates the vital importance of understanding multilingualism in the context of each country's institutional structures and sociopolitical processes. It will help to push forward the agenda in many other countries' teacher education as well!

This much-needed volume deepens our understanding of the commonalities and complexities of preparing teachers to address linguistic and cultural diversity. The authors from nine countries have forged an international alliance that accounts for the unique historical context of each setting. This important work sets the stage for future research on the equitable education of multilingual learners across their nations and around the world.
