Bilingualism and Bilingual Education: Politics, Policies and Practices in a Globalized Society

Editat de B. Gloria Guzmán Johannessen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 ian 2019
This volume presents a multinational perspective on the juxtaposition of language and politics. Bringing together an international group of authors, it offers theoretical and historical constructs on bilingualism and bilingual education. It highlights the sociocultural complexities of bilingualism in societies where indigenous and other languages coexist with colonial dominant and other prestigious immigrant languages. It underlines the linguistic diaspora and expansion of English as the world’s lingua franca and their impact on indigenous and other minority languages. Finally, it features models of language teaching and teacher education.
This book challenges the existent global conditions of non-dominant languages and furthers the discourse on language politics and policies. It does so by pointing out the need to change the bilingual/multilingual educational paradigm across nations and all levels of educational systems.

Recenzii

“This well-presented and highly accessible volume will contribute to the literature on bilingualism and bilingual education from a globalized perspective, and will add depth to the limited focus on the subject in the current literature. It will be a welcome contribution to the literature on bilingualism and bilingual education for master and doctoral students, and will serve as an excellent reference for professoriate interested in these issues. … fresh and appealing in its high level of accessibility and reader-friendliness.” (Birong Huang, Journal of Language and Politics, Vol. 19 (2), 2020)
