Proposals for mother tongue education, for bilingual programmes of various kinds, or for more effective teaching of literary or standard languages all depend on an understanding of the underlying problem of language education in multilingual settings. The writers of Language and Education in Multilingual Settings do not have a single view of the issues, for they are international in background and experience, and interdisciplinary in training and approach; moreover, as will be clear, they differ in political and philosophical beliefs, in scholarly rhetoric, in research paradigms and in personal circumstances. In this book, researchers from India, Yugoslavia, the USSR, the USA, New Zealand, Zambia, Denmark, Australia, and Israel discuss practice and theory in various parts of the world.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 148mmItem Width: 12mmItem Weight: 286gContributor: Bernard Spolsky (Edited by)Author: Bernard SpolskyGenre: Language & ReferenceBook Series: Multilingual MattersRelease Year: 1986
