This special issue examines Teaching and Learning Resources (TLRs) for linguistic minorities in Europe. TLRs – encompassing a wide array of pedagogical materials utilized for educational or self-directed learning purposes across various contexts, from school textbooks to academic literature and from media texts to online resources – are central to minority language education. Existing research often prioritizes teacher and learner activities, overlooking their medial or material dimensions. Furthermore, as shown in the articles in this issue, very few countries have succeeded in developing systematic specialized professional production and circulation of resources that would cater to the entire minority society and also facilitate the education of majority society members about the minorities. This Special Issue addresses that gap by focusing on the sociology of TLR production, particularly in contexts where institutional support is limited. Anchored in the project ‘The Production of Learning Resources of, for and by the National Minorities’, funded by the Swedish foundation Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (2025), the articles highlight emerging interdisciplinary approaches and the need for systematic, equitable resource development across European minority language settings. This special issue features a diverse range of contributions that explore TLRs not only in the Nordic context of minority languages, but also more broadly across Europe.
