The development of bilingual education in South America can be
traced back to the arrival of the Spanish and Portuguese colonisers
in the 15th and 16th centuries, when Catholic missionaries began
their evangelisation of the indigenous peoples using local
vernaculars, as well as Latin, Spanish and Portuguese.
Traditionally, debate on bilingual education has been conducted in
two separate arenas: majority language contexts involving
international languages, such as English, French, Spanish and
Portuguese, and minority community contexts aimed at maintaining
native Amerindian languages as well as the different Sign Languages
of the South American Deaf communities. This book presents an
integrated vision of bilingual education in six South American
nations: three Andean countries, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, and
three 'Southern Cone' countries, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. It
includes work carried out in minority as well as majority language
contexts, referring to developments in the fields of indigenous,
Deaf, and international bilingual and multilingual provision.
