Multilingualism and Third Age
This article discusses aspects of language learning and multilingualism in the third age. We address some of the clichés attached to additional language learning in the autumn of life, as well as the fear and defeatism that third‐age learners may feel.

The new conceptualizations go beyond the pedagogica…

Language educators’ regard for variation in late modernity: Perceptions of linguistic variation in minority contexts
This article investigates language educators’ regard for linguistic variation in a minority language context. It argues that teachers function as language norm authorities who may influence the linguistic practices and ideologies of students, and that this role takes on added significance in minority language contexts where access to the target language may be limited. Data are presented from a study on the linguistic ideologies of Irish language…
