About the book:<br>
This book presents research on the situation minority language schoolchildren face when they need to learn languages of international communication, in particular English. The book takes minority languages as a starting point and it bridges local and global perspectives in the analysis of multilingual education contexts. It examines the interaction of minority languages and cultures, majority languages and lingua franca-s in a variety of settings across different regions and countries on all continents. Even though all chapters in this book involve minority languages, the issues discussed are relevant to any context in which more than language is used in education.<br>
The book reveals challenges and opportunities of multilingual education by discussing issues such as Northern and Southern concepts, language education policies, language diversity, interethnic understanding, multimodal language practices, power, conflict, identity and prestige, among many others.<br>
?This is the volume that finally accounts for multilingual education from a truly multilingual perspective by involving proposals and research from a variety of multilingual speech communities in the world. The (linguistically) rich Ethiopia and Mexico can teach the poor Europe and other Northern countries about multilingual education. CLIL promoters may learn from Finnish S?mi and Canadian Innu and Mi?gmaq indigenous communities as well as from Basque results. Speakers and teachers of minority and international languages will certainly be glad to hear the news. There is no need for a monolingual bias or tunnel vision in acquiring English in non-English speaking communities. This volume includes new challenging pedagogical perspectives while pointing to interesting conclusions for worldwide educational authorities?.

Description:<br>
Teachers in any subject area must have a basic understanding of how language is learned and used in educational contexts because language impacts teaching and learning across all subjects. This book is written specifically for those teachers and teacher traineeslearning to teach who want to know more about language learning and use in educational contexts and, especially, those who care about the social implications of language in education.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Chapters address crucial questions that teachers must address:<br>
How is language structured?<br>
How is language learned at home and in school, by first, second and bilingual language learners?<br>
How is language used in classrooms to shape learning?<br>
How does language vary in different regions and due to social characteristics of users?<br>
How can language be used to make meaning in different modes (oral/written) and contexts?<br>
How do language policies intersect with education policies, and how do these impact teachers?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The chapters are full of examples of language use in educational contexts to help readers understand language in action. The examples not only highlight key points, they also provide opportunities for readers to deepen their understanding by experiencing analysis of language. Each chapter closes with a discussion of relevance to educational settings and questions which can be used for in-class discussion or personal reflection. Suggestions for further readings and online viewing are included, and a comprehensive companion website is available<br>

Languages for All White Paper<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In recent years, much of the discussion regarding foreign language education has centered on its perceived benefits: a more robust economy, stronger national security, improved cognitive ability, and advantages in college admissions and the job market, just to name a few.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Below you?ll find the draft executive summary of the Languages for All whitepaper. This white paper is intended to answer the following questions:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
? Should the education system in the United States provide all children access to the interpersonal, developmental, and economic benefits of a second language?<br>
<br>
?Are our schools, colleges, and universities capable and willing to make language education universally available? If so, how? If not, why not?<br>
