In the introduction S. May declares: additive bilingualism can be criticized in turn for reinforcing, rather than undermining, the discreteness of linguistic boundaries (p. 3). Even if the key idea of the book itself (the recognition of a multilingual turn and the plaidoyer for it) has little new to offer, as it has being proposed by Y. Kachru (1994) or by S. Makoni &.

Drawing on the latest developments in bilingual and multilingual research, The Multilingual Turn offers a critique of, and alternative to, still-dominant monolingual theories, pedagogies and practices in SLA, TESOL, and bilingual education. Critics of the ‘monolingual bias’ argue that notions such as the idealized native speaker, and related concepts of interlanguage, language competence, and fossilization, have framed these fields inextricably in relation to monolingual speaker norms. In contrast, these critics advocate an approach that emphasizes the multiple competencies of bi/multilingual learners as the basis for successful language teaching and learning.

This volume takes a big step forward in re-situating the issue of multilingualism more centrally in applied linguistics and, in so doing, making more permeable its key sub-disciplinary boundaries – particularly, those between SLA, TESOL, and bilingual education. It addresses this issue head on, bringing together key international scholars in SLA, TESOL, and bilingual education to explore from cutting-edge interdisciplinary perspectives what a more critical multilingual perspective might mean for theory, pedagogy, and practice in each of these fields.

No longer are multilinguals meant to be monolinguals in more than two languages. The latest research shows that people are mixing and matching their languages into combinations of whatever feels right. They switch back and forth, go sideways and upside down! It's fun. It's a relaxed, eclectic, and highly creative approach to communication. And most of all, speaking a language is once again enjoyable. Only a fuddy-duddy would be so hung up on correctness. After all, what is the purpose of speaking but to communicate, to share a joke, to laugh and to cry over a story well told. By viewing bi-/multilingualism as a continuum rather than a hierarchy, the field of linguistics is freed from the stultifying binaries of native speaker/language learner to examine how real world speakers live with and use languages.
