*Bilingualism in Schools and Society* provides a clear and engaging
introduction to key issues surrounding bilingualism in educational and
social contexts. This third edition expands on core sociolinguistic
concepts, including code-switching, translanguaging, flexible bilingualism,
and code-meshing, offering a more nuanced view of how language practices
evolve in diverse, multilingual environments.
Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, it explores how
individuals and communities use multiple languages—in schools, the media,
and digital spaces—while also considering the personal and cultural
dimensions of living bilingually in a globalized world. Shin examines
current educational policies and assessments affecting English learners,
including updates on the Common Core State Standards, WIDA, ELPA21, and the
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). With new content on community-based
heritage language programs and their connections to K–12 schools and
post-secondary institutions, the book reflects the latest developments in
bilingual education and policy. Each chapter includes suggested readings,
online resources, and study questions to support critical thinking and
classroom discussion.
Grounded in empirical research, updated statistics on bilingual
populations, and multilingual case studies from around the world, this
textbook is ideal for courses and students preparing for careers in
language education, linguistics, or educational policy.
