商品簡介
How do signage, signs and symbols shape our educational spaces and experiences and how, in turn, are they shaped by those educational spaces and experiences? Drawing on insights from linguistics and semiotics, this book explores the linguistic landscape of the classroom and offers new perspectives on both linguistic landscape and educational sciences. This is of particular relevance to educational settings in which two strands flow together: both the social changes associated with migration and supercomplexity, and directives from transnational organisations such as the European Union and the Council of Europe, regarding the promotion of multilingualism and the integration of education and language. The book brings together empirical studies conducted with two different foci: schoolscapes and the use of linguistic landscape as a pedagogical tool, with research conducted in a range of contexts and languages.
