<br>
Guest Editor: Norbert Francis, Northern Arizona University<br>
<br>
FOCUS<br>
Manuscripts are being requested for the upcoming special issue of
the<i> International Journal of Bilingual Education and
Bilingualism</i> on Indigenous Language Bilingualism. The focus of the
special issue will be on research reports from field studies of
bilingualism and language learning, aspects of language use and
language competence, and research applied to both educational contexts
and language development in general involving indigenous language
communities and indigenous cultures. Papers should be reports on an
actual empirical study, or a theoretical discussion or review of
literature that references empirical work in the field. A broad range
of theoretical and methodological approaches is to be included, from:
educational linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics,
anthropological studies of language and education, and work from
experimental, controlled-descriptive, and ethnographic approaches.
Aspects of language development and language use focused on either the
indigenous language or the national language or both, children and/or
adults, in school and/or extracurricular-community settings are being
solicited.<br>
