Foreigners in Our Schools’: Cultural Diversity, Othering, and the Desire for Justice in Schools
This study explored ‘cultural diversity’ in urban schools in Portugal by conducting discourse analysis on interviews with school practitioners. Findings show that ‘cultural diversity’ was dominantly anchored in Othering ‘foreigners’ that mainly associated ‘non-native speakers’ to difficulties in integration, participation and teachers’pedagogical work. However, contradicting discourses somewhat resisted Othering by highlighting meaningful differe…
Research priorities in the field of multilingualism and language education: A cross-national examination

To improve the ways in which schools cater for language education in diverse settings, research is required on the potentials of multilingualism in order to design curricula that foster skills in different languages. This paper aims at identifying and explaining research prioritie…

Simultaneously, it allows us to reflect on the predominant professional culture among teachers. The modality used was the case study, inserted in a qualitative methodology, privileging the interpretati…

Teaching in multilingual classrooms: Strategies from a case study in Portugal
This study examined teaching practices developed by teachers to respond to linguistic diversity in a Portuguese case study. We analysed the position that students' languages received in the classroom, and what these practices revealed about teachers' awareness of multilingual pedagogies, a step to social justice. Three main strategies emerged: promoting Portuguese without involving students' languages, using a common language (English) as lingua …
Rethinking ‘cultural activities’: An examination of how teachers utilised student voice as a pedagogical tool in multicultural schools
This article explores the activities teachers developed in a school cluster in Portugal in order to address cultural diversity, and particularly, how students' voices were used as pedagogical tools. Findings show unsettled rather than unified strategies, building on cultural artefacts, universal/individualised topics, and tackling stereotyping, discrimination and racism. However, student voice as a pedagogical tool seemed to be missing, possibly …
