Abstract

Super-diversity is put to work as a theoretical and methodological approach to study language and literacy in five Australian classrooms. A linguistic ethnographic approach employed to look through the lens of lived experiences, sociocultural practices and modes of life of five classes of young people aged 10-14, brings super-diversity into sharp focus. Young people are participating in new forms of communicative practices at a local and global level. Multilingualism and the emergence of increased fluidity in language and identity are on view and the implications for language and literacy teaching and learning in today's super diverse global classrooms are explored.
