Bringing together researchers and practitioners who contributed to the international LINguistic and Cultural DIversity REinvented (LINCDIRE) project, the book examines four pillars of innovation in language education: the Action-oriented approach, Plurilingualism, Indigenous epistemologies and Technology enhanced learning. The book critically discusses plurilingual pedagogical approaches that draw on learners' linguistic and cultural repertoires to encourage and support the dynamic use of languages in curricular innovation. It is a fundamental resource for language teachers, curriculum designers and educational researchers interested in understanding current thinking on the relevance and benefit of a plurilingual paradigm shift for language education in today's societies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMore specifically, this book: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines the development of plurilingualism and the potential of real-life oriented teaching and learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores the concept of plurilingual and pluricultural competence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocuses on collaboration and reflection from a humanistic tradition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores educational technology and explains the limitations and challenges of adopting ready-made tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights the iterative, design-based research process that informed the development of LINCDIRE's pedagogical framework and action-oriented scenarios.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces practical examples of action-oriented tasks and scenarios, and illustrates the online tool (LITE) in terms of its current functionalities and design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes the implementation challenges and opportunities of plurilingual action-oriented tasks and discusses the results of implementation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the book examines future pedagogical innovation and research directions in order to help readers reflect on the implications of achieving sustainable change in language education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis exciting collection addresses an important question in language education: How can plurilingualism and cultural diversity be harnessed to promote sustainable innovation in language learning and teaching?
