在这一章中，我分析的数据，从一年的人种学研究的多语言作为跨学科学习的资产在西海岸大学在大温哥华，加拿大。我讨论了在何种程度上的多语言和多语言教学的概念，适合在大学的多种情况下，并寻找允许或否定拥抱的语言比英语作为学习工具的因素。我开始通过回顾我以前的研究数据，我已经进行了，我分析了多/多语言的做法，学生参加第一年的学术素养课程在城市的机构，说明学生的丰富和多样的使用多种语言和周围的学习。然后，我认为多语言教学法的关键方面的适用性-最值得注意的是，拥抱多种语言作为学习的资产-在三个应用科学类，一个技术和两个专注于写作。我发现，当学习环境发生变化时，特别是课程的内容和目的发生变化时，多语言教学法的适用性也会发生变化。最后，我建议，在教育中的多语言实践的倡导者需要尊重差异，谨慎行事，避免理想化，并在与跨学科的同事合作中寻找多语言的细微差别，因为他们的目标是帮助学生在学术上取得成功。
In this chapter, I analyze data from a one-year ethnographic study of plurilingualism as an asset for learning across the disciplines at West Coast University in Metro Vancouver, Canada. I discuss the extent to which the concepts of plurilingualism and plurilingual pedagogy fit into multiple contexts at the university, and look for factors that allow for or negate the embracing of languages other than English as tools for learning. I begin by reviewing data from previous studies I have carried out in which I analyzed the multi/plurilingual practices of students taking first-year academic literacy courses at institutions in the city, illustrating students’ rich and varied uses of multiple languages in and around their learning. I then consider the applicability of key aspects of plurilingual pedagogy – most notably, the embracing of multiple languages as assets for learning – in three Applied Sciences classes, one technical and two focused on writing. I found that when the learning context changed, in particular the content and purpose of courses, so too did the applicability of plurilingual pedagogy. I conclude by suggesting that advocates of plurilingual practices in education need to respect differences, tread carefully, avoid idealization, and look for nuanced representations of plurilingualism in their collaborations with colleagues across the disciplines as they aim to help students to succeed academically.
