Abstract

This chapter explores the theoretical and empirical foundations of Functional Multilingual Learning (FML), a pedagogical framework whereby the full range of pupils’ evolving plurilingual repertoire is positioned as didactic capital, and home languages are strategically exploited across the curriculum as mediating, facilitating tools for learning. FML is designed specifically for the mainstream, linguistically diverse classroom where the teacher does not speak the pupils’ additional languages. Whilst acknowledging translanguaging practices as agentive reality, it seeks to purposefully combine horizontal and vertical language practices (Heugh, 2015) thereby creating powerful learning environments which promote self-regulated learning. The specificities of FML are examined here through a comparative exploration with translanguaging as pedagogy (e.g. Cenoz & Gorter, 2021; García & Kleyn, 2016) and language awareness (e.g. Candelier, 2003). Although often similar in their aims, each model places emphasis on different dimensions, as appropriate to local contexts and pedagogical traditions. The comparison encompasses the linguistic ontological foundations of each model and its associated pedagogical objectives, as well as reflection on the nature of the transformation they seek to engender. This informs transversal reflection on how scholars can render multilingual pedagogies realistic yet ambitious, taking account of the interlaced dynamics of individual pedagogical practice, curriculum goals and wider ideological and linguistic dimensions.
