Gurney, Laura; Demuro, Eugenia – Teaching in Higher Education, 2022
This point of departure offers several provocations for languages education in the higher education sector. From our standpoint as world language educators working in Australia and New Zealand, we trace universalising claims about languages through coloniality and the attendant ideology of monolingualism.

This is a result of the colonial history of the country, yet it disadvantages a large section of South African students who undertake their education in a language that is not their first language.

Gollan, Tamar H.; Acenas, Lori-Ann R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2004
The authors induced tip-of-the-tongue states (TOTs) for English words in monolinguals and bilinguals using picture stimuli with cognate (e.g., vampire, which is vampiro in Spanish) and noncognate (e.g., funnel, which is embudo in Spanish) names. Bilinguals had more TOTs than did monolinguals unless the target pictures had translatable cognate…
