“…At one extreme there can be clear‐cut code switching, or what Sridhar and Sridhar () describe as “alternating monolingualisms” (p. 2). In the middle, we may have “code gliding” or “multiple, frequent, rapid, and unselfconscious weaving in and out of languages” (Sridhar & Sridhar, , p. 5), similar to what Swanwick et al. () described of Indira.…”

The Douglas Fir Group (2016) sought to articulate a transdisciplinary agenda for SLA but said little about multilingualism specifically. Moreover, many multilinguals are under siege in a worrisome world where threats to human difference have risen to the mainstream in the aftermath of Brexit and the 2016 U.S. presidential election. I argue that considering multilingualism as the central object of inquiry and embracing social justice as an explicit disciplinary goal are two moves necessary to provide sustainable support for the kind of transdisciplinary SLA that the Douglas Fir Group (2016) envisioned. I examine some missing pieces of the puzzle of transdisciplinary transformation that may make it possible for SLA researchers, and particularly those who investigate linguistic–cognitive dimensions of language learning, to contribute knowledge about the human capacity for language while supporting equitable multilingualism for all.

“…There are various definitions of the terms code-switching, code-mixing, and translanguaging (e.g., Weinreich, 1986 p.87;Al-Qaysi, 2019;Sayer, 2013;Wei, 2018) among others). Sridhar & Sridhar (2018), define code-mixing as "the transition from using linguistic units (words, phrases, clauses) of one language to using those of another within a single sentence"(p. 407). They note that this is distinct from code-switching in that codemixing occurs in a single sentence (known as intra-sentential switching) and does not fulfil the pragmatic or discourse-oriented functions described by sociolinguists.…”

The bilingual pedagogy of the Islamic studies subject is commonly practiced in most private and international schools worldwide. This subject is most often taught and learned in Arabic and one other language. In Islam, Arabic is the language of the normative sources, the Qur'an, and the Sunnah (prophetic tradition), and a large part of the classical tradition of Islamic education. A challenging problem for many students is limited proficiency in Arabic and the other language used to teach the subject. The common other language used is often English. Some international schools advocate the bilingual teaching of Islamic studies using Arabic and English to address this problem. This study investigates the attitudes and beliefs of the stakeholders (the school principal, Islamic studies subject teachers, students of Islamic studies subject, and their parents) towards the bilingual pedagogy of Islamic studies. A case study approach has been adopted whereby a private international Islamic school in Kuala Lumpur has been selected as the study site. The study comprises two phases: (1) A survey questionnaire distributed among the school principal, the subject teachers, students of Islamic studies, and their parents, and (2) Interviews were conducted with the school principal and teachers teaching Islamic studies subjects. The questionnaire's statistical data analysis and the content analysis of the interview protocols contributed to the study's findings. It revealed that all stakeholders had positive attitudes and beliefs towards the bilingual pedagogy of Islamic studies subject. Future research can address and support language policies and practice on bilingual education for Islamic studies subject.
