Abstract:

This volume provides a state-of-the-art snapshot of language and education research and demonstrates ways in which local and global processes are intertwined with language learning, use, and policies. Reflecting but also expanding on Nancy Hornberger's ground-breaking contributions to educational linguistics, this book brings together leading international scholars. Chapters present new research and cutting-edge syntheses addressing current theoretical and methodological issues in researching equity, access, and multilingual education. Organized around three central themes --- bilingual education and bilingualism, the continua of biliteracy, and policy and planning for linguistic diversity in education-the volume reflects the holistic and dynamic perspective on language (in) education that is the hallmark of educational linguistics as a field.

"An excellent book for a very distinguished recipient and mentor by two highly qualified editors: who could ask for anything more?" 

Joshua A. Fishman, Professor Emeritus 

 

"The papers in this volume eloquently celebrate the research findings and theoretical insights that Nancy Hornberger has contributed to the field of educational linguistics. The reader is made vividly aware of the direct impact that language planning decisions have on the lives of children, families, and educators and we are enabled to share in the passion for equity and justice that Nancy has infused throughout her work during the past 30 years."
