...this volume gives detailed accounts of the complex processes of teacher-researcher collaborations for supporting bi/multilingual students by centering TL pedagogies in a wide range of K- 12 contexts across the world. It also provides various collaborative research models to decolonize the power differentials throughout the research process (see Chapter 4, 8 and 10). In this sense, the volume is particularly valuable for researchers and scholars interested in building and sustaining partnerships with classroom teachers or schools to challenge linguistic hegemony in educational institutions. This book is also highly recommended for in-service and pre-service teachers who are theoretically convinced but unsure of what it looks like to plan and implement TL pedagogies in various learning contexts while fitting within the district context. Most of all, this book extends beyond integrating TL into language/literacy classrooms, encompassing TL in English-dominant STEM classrooms, which makes it also useful for those aiming to leverage students' TL practices for equitable STEM learning and assessment in multilingual settings.

This fascinating volume clearly shows how researcher-teacher collaboration brings new perspectives in the study of translanguaging in educational contexts. Teachers' views can substantially contribute to informing and developing translanguaging research and, at the same time, collaboration allows for research on translanguaging to have direct impact on the classroom.

Shepard-Carey and Tian's book continues to push our understanding of translanguaging pedagogy forward by demonstrating its potential to transform our pedagogy in multilingual language education. The volume will serve as an important mentor text for researchers and practitioners who want to co-design and carry out collaborative translanguaging-focused projects in classrooms.

The comprehensive studies in this book demonstrate multifaceted boundary crossings in language, research and teaching, disciplines, learning settings and ideologies. These studies deepen the conversation on translanguaging practices and highlight the importance of collaboration between researchers and classroom teachers in searching for effective paths to equitable education for emergent bilinguals.
