Edited by Jim Cummins and Nancy H. Hornberger
Publisher: Springer

Description: This volume addresses bilingual education, the use of two (or more) languages of instruction in education. Although bilingual education is available in some form in most countries, it is frequently the subject of political debate, especially where a bilingual program is set up to serve migrant populations. The volume offers •A thorough analysis of a range of conceptual issues in bilingual education •Discussion of research in the field since the 1920s and the conclusions that can be drawn from it •Chapters on illustrative bilingual education programs and policies from around the globe
