Research considering the role of language in the teaching and learning of mathematics continues to grow and develop, drawing on a range of theoretical, methodological and pedagogical approaches. In this introduction, we detail the discussions had and issues raised at the 7 th ERME Topic Conference as a result of the bringing together of the theoretical perspectives, foci and findings of the papers presented that are included in these proceedings. These rich discussions also raised new challenges for those researching language and mathematics and identified new possibilities for the future work of the Mathematics and Language thematic working group.

Mots clés: Language and mathematics; multilingual contexts; meaning-making; interaction
