How do written and other signs shape our educational spaces and practices; and how, in turn, are these written and other signs shaped by the educational spaces and practices they inhabit? Building on enquiries into the linguistic landscapes of public spaces, this volume addresses these questions and thereby further advances the educational turn in linguistic and semiotic landscapes studies. Prompted by social changes associated with migration and superdiversity, as well as imperatives to promote pluri- and multilingualism, the studies collected here speak to the interest of researchers and practitioners in educational linguistics and educational sciences. They confirm the value of combining empirical analyses of linguistic and semiotic educationscapes with action research on mobilising linguistic landscapes as pedagogical resources to promote multilingual equality.

Vigorously advocates for realising translanguaging’s transformative potential in education.This book examines diverse aspects of advocacy for translanguaging as a legitimate educational practice. It advances a practical theory of the translanguaging of education that is informed by deliberative advocacy and based in evidence. Combinations of quantitative and qualitative research from preschool to higher and adult education in different parts of the world give insight into current translanguaging strategies and pedagogies.From translanguaging and transsemiotising in subject lessons such as Mathematics and Geography, to transdisciplinary engagement with poetry and music beyond the classroom, the findings contribute to the development of a practical theory of translanguaging in education, and demonstrate how translanguaging plays a part in everyday language learning and language use.This book is open access under a CC BY ND licence.

Who is involved and why in the linguistic landscapes in educational contexts? How are agency and activism reflected in educationscapes? These questions and more are addressed in the various contributions in this volume, thus expanding the boundaries of educationscapes through enquiries that focus on educational agency and activism. In particular, the collection sheds light on linguistic, semiotic and spatial agency and activism in different educational contexts around the world. By focusing on agency as social practice and activism as act to change, the studies broaden our understanding of the actors, and how they mobilize their linguistic and semiotic resources to shape the educationscape. The volume advances the study of linguistic landscapes in educational contexts and offers a critical approach to reflect on inequality, power and decolonialization of languages in educational spaces, as well as the professional development of future teachers."[…] the volume presents both an exciting journey to very different parts of the world, and at the same time creates connection between the specific themes of each chapter through key concepts of activism and agency. In this book the reader is presented with deep contrasts that they may not have been aware of. Although this is not necessarily the primary goal of the volume, these comparisons embrace a value that can bring something remarkably new not only to the reader but also to the field itself.[…] the book is profoundly rich in information, thorough in its analysis, and objective in its description.[…] readers who are interested in the field of linguistic landscape in general and in educational context in particular would strongly appreciate this book, as they can gain inspirations of methodologies, and further reflect on their insights regarding activism and agency in educational contexts."(Enikő Biró, International Journal of Multilingualism, 10.7.2025)
