Shifting Lenses

>These chapters taken together provide a blue print for shifting the lens and appropriate epistemologies from the global South. One of these is to normalise the use of more than one language for learning and teaching in the same lesson as this is a cultural competence for students and teachers from these contexts. Without this lens shifting in undertaking and taking on new epistemologies, where fluidity and confluence between various language and literacy features are harnessed, it would be close to impossible to imagine a decolonised and high-quality education for multilingual speakers. The volume charts a hopeful future in which ways of knowing and being are not curtailed by inherited narrow ideologies of monolingualism. - [publisher](https://www.uwc.ac.za/news-and-announcements/publications/title-book-series-no-124year-2018shifting-lenses-multilanguaging-decolonisation-and-education-in-the-global-south)
