2 MULTILINGUALISM
As desc ibed abo e, mul ilingualism is one o he c ucial e ms ela ed o he opic

(1) Mul ilingualism is ubiqui ous, on he ise wo ldwide, and inc easingly deep
and b oad in i s e ec s.
(2) Mul ilingualism is de eloping wi hin he con ex o he new eali y o global-

(3) Mul ilingualism is now such an inhe en elemen o human socie y ha i is
necessa y o he unc ioning o majo componen s o he social s uc u e (in
he b oad sense, encompassing, in e alia, echnology, inance, poli ics, and

As he au ho s sugges , cu en mul ilingualism is no limi ed o geog aphically close

2.2 MULTILINGUALISM AND SOcIAL INcLUSION

3 METROLINGUALISM
Pennycook and O suji (2015) explo e e e yday mul ilingual p ac ices in an u ban a ea
such as Sydney and Tokyo wi hin he amewo k o “mul ilingualism om below”
and “me olingualism”. Mul ilingualism om below is de i ed om he concep o
mul icul u alism om below, which is unde s ood as “ag ounded app oach o look-
ing a he e e yday p ac ice and li ed expe ience o di e si y in speci ic si ua ions
and spaces o encoun e ” (Wise & Velayu ham, 2009, p.3). This concep , he e o e,
gene ally does no deal wi h op-down language policy o language no ms as asoci-
e al sys em ha in luences he language use o lay people. Ra he , mul ilingualism
om below explo es how people in e ac in e e yday communica ion and how hei

and li ed expe ience o linguis ic di e si y. Me olingualism e e s o he p ac ice o

lished social, cul u al, poli ical, and his o ical bounda ies (Pennycook & O suji, 2010,
pp.243–248). Mo eo e , in hei p e ious pape (Pennycook & O suji, 2011), he au-
ho s explain he po en ial aims o me olingualism: i desc ibes how people o di -

guage. Me olingualism does no assume aconnec ion be ween language, cul u e,
na ionali y, o geog aphy bu a he seeks o explo e how such ela ions a e p o-
duced, esis ed, de ied, o ea anged (ibid., p.419). Wi hin his heo e ical ame-
wo k, Pennycook and O suji explo ed how e e yday mul ilingual p ac ices ake
place in e ms o mobili y, spa ial epe oi es,2 con i iali y, and me olingua an-
cas. Mo eo e , in hei la e pape (Pennycook & O suji, 2017), he au ho s u he
de elop he heo y and in oduce he no ion o globaliza ion om below. I e e s
o ansna ional lows o people and goods as pa o in o mal and small-scale eco-

As a as spa ial epe oi e in an u ban con ex is conce ned, i is one o he mos

Sen (2016), in his pape , accoun s o he no ion o spa ial epe oi e in ela ion o he

pea ed expe iences o shopping in such s o es c ea e spa ial memo ies and habi ual

cou se o epea ed expe ience, no only spa ial memo ies bu also spa ial epe oi es,
which include bo h linguis ic and o he esou ces, a e c ea ed” (ibid., p.71). In o he
wo ds, epea ed expe iences wi h e e yday li e p ac ices ou inize apa icula way
o language use in ace ain place. This concep o ou inized language use allows us
o desc ibe ou e e yday language p ac ices in a ious places in which o eigne s o

Pennycook and O suji (2019) augmen he ange o me olingualism o include

as sma phones and social ne wo k se ices, adi e en ype o spa io empo al en-

ionally, Thu low and M oczek (2011) sugges ha “ echnologies a e indeed embedded

ins ance, ad e isemen s o es au an s and hei e iews on he in e ne o social

gual p ac ices in ou socie y. In his pape , Pennycook and O suji a gue ha “ he mo-
bile phone […] is no simply amedium o en e ainmen , bu pa o he p ocess by
which people en angle he lines be ween wo k and pleasu e and make e e yday en-

This a gumen poin s o he ac ha echnological ad ance is no solely apassi e and
subse ien implica ion o ou socie y bu an ac i e and dynamic ool ha enables us
o c ea e anew place in which mul ilingual p ac ices ake place e e y day.
4 LANGUAGE MANAGEMENT THEORY
