In 1997, the Encyclopedia of Language and Education was published
as an award-winning collection of eight volumes, under the general
editorship of David Corson. This reference set signaled the
maturity of language and education as an international and
interdisciplinary field of significance and cohesion. Now in a
second, fully revised edition, this 10 volume set of the
Encyclopedia of Language and Education brings forth the newest
developments in the field, including two new volumes of research
and scholarly content essential to the field of language teaching
and learning in the age of globalization. The publication of this
work charts the deepening and broadening of the field of language
and education since the publication of the first Encyclopedia In
the selection of topics and contributors, the Encyclopedia reflects
the depth of disciplinary knowledge, breadth of interdisciplinary
perspective, and diversity of sociogeographic experience in our
field. Volumes on language socialization and language ecology have
been added, reflecting these growing emphases in language education
theory, research and practice, alongside the enduring emphases on
language policy, literacies, discourse, language acquisition,
bilingual education, knowledge about language, language testing,
and research methods. Throughout all the volumes, there is a
greater inclusion of scholarly contributions from non-English
speaking and non-western parts of the world, providing truly global
coverage of the issues in the field. Furthermore, we have sought to
integrate these voices more fully into the whole, rather than as
special cases or international perspectives in separate sections.
The Encyclopedia isa necessary reference set for every university
and college library in the world that serves a faculty or school of
education. The Encyclopedia aims to speak to a prospective
readership that is multinational, and to do so as unambiguously as
possible. Because each book-size volume deals with a discrete and
important subject in language and education, these state-of-the-art
volumes also offer highly authoritative course textbooks in the
areas suggested by their titles. The more than 250 scholars
contributing to the Encyclopedia hail from all continents of our
globe and from 41 countries; they represent a great diversity of
linguistic, cultural, and disciplinary traditions. For all that,
what is most impressive about the contributions gathered here is
the unity of purpose and outlook they express with regard to the
central role of language as both vehicle and mediator of
educational processes and to the need for continued and deepening
research into the limits and possibilities that implies. Volume 1:
