Abstract
This chapter summarizes the theoretical novelty and practical implications offered in the volume. Theoretical findings refer to expanding the concepts of language awareness and identity, and their scrutiny from multiple perspectives in their tight connections with each other within the framework of DLC. In particular, the chapter categorizes the terms, concepts, and methods, existing and new strands of DLC research, and points towards additional dimensions of multilingual students’ and teachers’ identity.
