Chapter 8, the final chapter, summarises the main arguments developed in the book and reiterates the case for promoting the extended framework of working with children in applied linguistics. The chapter discusses the main opportunities and challenges going forward and emphasises that future research with children needs to stay relevant and address children’s future needs and realities. Incorporating the extended framework into applied linguistics research would mean rebalancing the current trend in research and serving communities of children more directly. Future studies where researchers embrace more active roles for children will spark inspired debate and discussion, with the potential to move the field forward.
