Plurilingual interaction at a catalan university doing internationalisationcontext and learning

Resumen

This study is a qualitative account of plurilingual practices as they emerge in both classroom and non-classroom settings immersed in processes of internationalisation at a Catalan university. It aims, on the one hand, to understand how university members define their context and mobilise available means from different languages, among other resources at their disposal, in ways that are both sensitive to and constitutive of such interpretations. On the other hand, this research focuses on how participants talk situations of teaching and learning into being in different settings, and on how knowledge is potentially built. The construction of second language and subject content knowledge is focalised. Explicit attention is also paid to when, how and why members draw on available plurilingual and multimodal resources in engaging in and achieving their situated teaching and learning goals.
