Words and images of multilingualism: A case study of two North Korean refugees
2018
Abstract The article analyses the experience of multilingualism in the South Korean context, focusing on the experiences of North Korean refugees.

The Personal Repertoire and Its Materiality : Resources, Means and Modalities of Languaging
2023
The chapter is a theoretical discussion of the concept of personal repertoire and its application in the context of applied linguistics, particularly in the study of language learning and development. It questions conceptualisations that understand language learning as acquisition of abstract, decontextual and disembodied language knowledge and argues that learners’ know-how is not based on any kind of ‘mental grammar’, but on a personal repertoire of different multimodal semiotic resources. Bringing together ‘old’ and ‘new’ arguments for materialism, personal repertoires are examined focussing on how embodied agentive activity is intertwined with the socially structured environments and th…
