This paper considers multilingualism from the point of view of language learning
and teaching. We discuss the ‘monological’ thinking in linguistics and in the
research of language learning and teaching and argue that the monological stand,
more often than not, also embeds a monolingual bias. As an alternative to
monologism, we discuss dialogical notion of language and argue that this
inherently involves a multilingual stand.
