This volume provides a comprehensive account of the implementation
of bilingual education programmes in countries throughout the
world. Bilingual programs have been implemented to achieve a
variety of educational and social goals in different contexts. Some
programmes are intended to support the maintenance of national
minority languages or to revitalize languages whose long-term
survival is threatened; others aim to help recent immigrants
succeed academically while making the transition to instruction
taught primarily through the majority language of the society. In
addition, bilingual programmes have been used to teach additional
languages to students from the majority or dominant language group.
Similar theoretical principles underlie the development of
bilingual conversational and academic skills in all these diverse
contexts. For academics, graduate students, and policy-makers, this
volume clearly outlines the social and educational goals that can
be achieved through bilingual education. It also highlights the
need to take account of the complex political context of
inter-group relationships within which bilingual programs are
inevitably embedded.
