Abstract
Equitable multilingual teaching and learning practices in education aim to create opportunities for all learners to acknowledge, celebrate and use their multilingual repertoires to enhance communication and facilitate learning. In this entry, we explore how such multilingual practices, aiming for equitable educational opportunities, represent a shift away from monolingual orientations to education. We offer a review of the various approaches educators can employ to maximize the use of learners' multilingual repertoires within educational settings. We consider the key issues regarding equitable multilingual practices in both school and Higher Education contexts in relation to how language education policies are constructed in schools and the role of English in Higher Education. In doing so, we raise timely questions about multilingual education and its relationship to access, equity and social justice.
