How do children and adults become multilingual? How do they use
their languages? What influence does being multilingual have on
their identities? What is the social impact of multilingualism
today and how do societies accommodate it? These are among the
fascinating questions examined by this book. Exploring
multilingualism in individuals and in society at large, Stavans and
Hoffmann argue that it evolves not from one factor in particular,
but from a vast range of environmental and personal influences and
circumstances: from migration to globalisation, from the spread of
English to a revived interest in minority languages, from social
mobility to intermarriage. The book shows the important role of
education in helping to promote or maintain pupils' multilingual
language competence and multilingual literacy, and in helping to
challenge traditional monolingual attitudes. A clear and incisive
account of this growing phenomenon, it is essential reading for
students, teachers and policy-makers alike.
