Abstract

This chapter re-engineers multilingual education as a justice driven design science that mobilizes translanguaging, dynamic bilingualism, and systemic functional genre pedagogy to align cognition, identity, and assessment. It synthesizes research into an operational stack that specifies a curriculum workflow, a competency architecture for teachers as design centric ideology brokers, culture to discipline integrations, and policy levers that convert rights into auditable routines. The chapter couples universal design with psychometric validity to separate construct relevant reasoning from language dependent barriers, and situates co-authored local knowledge within rigorous genre targets, moderation, and data hygiene. Indian ecologies anchor transfer without parochialism, while global comparators ensure portability. The result is a blueprint that is ethically grounded, resource aware, and empirically testable, capable of scaling equitable learning across repertoires and scripts.
