Encyclopedia of Language and Education (10 volume set)

"Encyclopedia of Language and Education (10 volume set)" by Nancy H. Hornberger
Sr | 4176 pages | English | 2007, 2nd edition | ISBN: 0387328750 | PDF | 18,4 MB

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 is a 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.
