Exploring Communication Strategies for Information Dissemination in Villages Without Running Water

Carla Chamberlin and Mak Khan speak with Ingrid Piller about linguistic diversity and social justice.

We discuss whether US native speakers of English can teach English ethically; how migrant parents can foster their children’s biliteracy; what the language challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic are; whether multilingualism researchers have a monolingual English-centric blind spot; and how the research paradigms of World Englishes and multilingualism connect.
