N2 - This special issue on foreign language (FL) learning in multilingual contextsprovides insights into cross- and inter-linguistic phenomena comparingmonolingual and multilingual students who learn FLs in linguistically het-erogeneous classrooms. All contributions are based on data gathered in pro-jects carried out within the research cluster “Language education andmultilingualism”/“Sprachliche Bildung und Mehrsprachigkeit”, which hasbeen funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research(Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF) from 2013 to 2020. Bybringing together linguistic and educational perspectives on FL learning andteaching as well as different methodological aspects of FL testing, this specialissue sheds light on various questions related to FL learning in multilingualcontexts: How are FL competencies interrelated at both receptive and pro-ductive levels of proficiency and how do these develop over time? Which lin-guistic and extra-linguistic factors influence FL learning in multilinguals? Arethere differences in FL learning between monolingual and multilingual FLlearners and in how far could multilinguals benefit from positive transfer fromtheir heritage languages?
